Comments from those who selected PB Wiki as one
of their Top 10 Tools in 2009
- I have wikis for
everything from the business plan to project planning to
my doctorate. This is a fabulous way to work
collaboratively and share files with distributed teams.

Comments from those who selected PB Wiki as one
of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
- "mainly for archiving goodies,
somewhat for collaboration"
Jay Cross
- "I almost stopped using wikis about a year ago, but
PBwiki brought me back with all kinds of new plug-ins
and added functionality, plus it is ad-free for
educators"
Barry Dahl
- "We are running our intranet or
‘Knowledge Pod’ on this. Cool, flexible and easy too
use. Even a drunken monkey can use it."
Anol
Bhattacharya
- "Lovely easy wiki software that
anyone can pick up and use."
Phil Bradley
- "We use PB wiki to create wikis for class projects. They
are replacing pathfinders that were static pages – the
fact that users can edit pages has created another level
of interaction in the development of resources for
learning."
Jenny Luca
- "A couple of projects I have worked
on lately have used PBWiki as a collaboration tool. It’s
hard to beat for ease of use"

-
"For
working collaboratively with colleagues, I set up
wikis. PB Wiki is great for this,
especially as it is free, and I can quickly set up a
space for any project I want. PB Wiki has recently released some new features including a
shared calendar and spreadsheets."
Jane Hart
- "Pbwiki
was beautiful in appearance before it was WYSIWYG in
use, so I set up my business website using it"
Joan
Vinall-Cox
- "We are running our intranet or
‘Knowledge Pod’ on this. Cool, flexible and easy too
use. Even a drunken monkey can use it."
Anol
Bhattacharya
- "amongst many free wikis this is my favourite one and which I
not only promote for use with students, but use
myself in my courses and module"
Nicole
Cargill-Kipar
- "I like some of PBWiki's more advanced features, like being
able to add a YackPack chat to the wiki and the
option to easily create a portfolio"
Michele
Martin
- "I’m using it to
collaboratively
collect evidence for
an action/case
(to be held in
early 2008) to
learning
technologies"
