The ability to collaboratively create a work in writing, pictures, video, or any multimedia. All on a topic, many people putting together what they think is valid. That is some of what is going on at the new Wetpaint site. Well worth checking out I believe.

Here is a little from a press release I just read:

In true Web 2.0 fashion, Wetpaint launched, just three weeks ago, heralding a “free service” which “lets anyone start their own click-and-type Website.” According to the company:

Wetpaint.com is the creator of consumer web publishing platforms that maximize the power of collective thinking. The heart of the Wetpaint advantage is its ability to allow people — especially those without technical skill — to create, contribute to, and connect with websites written for and by those who share a passion or interest…

To do this, Wetpaint combines the best aspects of wikis, blogs, forums and social networks so anyone can click and type on the web. Wetpaint sites are radically different from other websites because they let people add or edit text, photos or links to other websites just by clicking on the "EasyEdit" button. With this click-and-type feature, Wetpaint site creators are not alone because anyone can help them add or edit content… more . . .

If you head over to Wetpaint let me know your thoughts by coming back and putting in a comment. I will let you know my two cents soon.
