Zimbio vs Wikipedia
By now we are all familiar with what Wikipedia has to offer us internet surfers. Although it's editing practices and over abundance of spammers makes some pages tacky, useless, or frustrating. But, for all intents and purposes it is becoming what it set out to become, an open source encylopedia, which means you must accept the previous shortcomings.
The problem with Wikpedia is that it's virtually full, almost all possible topics have been covered and already have a strong following of editors. Or, you have something to add but the Wikipedia format is too difficult for you to grasp onto. Now is the time for you to discover Zimbio.
Zimbio operates on portals and these portals are created by Gurus. The layout of each portal is easily customizable ala web 2.0 graphics and navigation. What's better, is that it provides simple point and click interface for layout design, adding RSS feeds, and even features a blog and forum for each niche.
I've been contributing to a handful of topics already on Zimbio and you can see what I've done at the Wii Portal. Anyone who signs up is able to add to the blog, add links, rate links, add photos, or even post in our blog. Although this setup is much simpler than Wikipedia, that is also it's strong point. Anyone can contribute, but Guru's have final say so if something needs to be removed.
So, if you feel you know your topic and want to start creating pages, jump in, the site is still new and there are lots of topics that need to be covered. But take warning, Guru's are the only ones able to delete blog entries and other sorts of items. This is especially important because your page will quickly become cluttered with spam on viagra if you don't take care of your page.
