Wiki
Page editing, the way you'd expect (WYSIWYG wiki) |
| The old way |
| Creating or editing pages in a wiki requires learning a specialized markup language. Every wiki has a slightly different markup. |
| The JotSpot way |
| Nothing new to learn. If you can use Microsoft Word, you can use JotSpot.
JotSpot's easy to use wiki editor means what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG). For advanced users, you can choose between WYSIWYG, ASCII markup and XML wiki editor modes. 
|
Collaborative business applications ready out of the box |
| The old way |
| The wiki is a blank screen leaving you to create everything. Semi-structured applications aren't even possible. |
| The JotSpot way |
|
JotSpot provides you with an application gallery to get you up and running quickly. Want a lightweight recruiting application? Got one. Want a task management application to run a shared to-do list across your workgroup? In there. If you see an app you like, simply click "install" and the application will automatically be loaded into your JotSpot wiki. You can then modify the application because it was built using pages in our wiki. 
|
Email integration: every wiki page is an Inbox. |
| The old way |
| Putting emails into your wiki involves cutting and pasting between your email and browser applications. |
| The JotSpot way |
|
CC:ing your JotSpot pages is an easy way to capture and archive email conversations. Simply "CC:" a wiki page and the email and its attachments are automatically attached to that page. Emails and Microsoft Word and Excel files are indexed for searching. It is also possible to email any wiki page out of your JotSpot wiki. 
|
Search, sort, and share on a secure wiki server |
| The old way |
| It is difficult to find what you're looking for in your wiki. Content and attachments are not searchable. |
| The JotSpot way |
|
All pages in your JotSpot secure wiki server are full-text indexed and searchable. MS Word and MS Excel files are also indexed when you attach them to your wiki. 
|
Integrate with information across the web |
| The old way |
| Old wikis are informational islands, not integrated with other software or other web content. External data is an afterthought. |
| The JotSpot way |
|
JotSpot's wiki allows you to integrate with content all across the web and display that content right on your pages. Want to see a map from Google on a JotSpot page? No problem. Got a SalesForce.com account? Get a wiki view of your salesforce.com data. Then, correlate that account with a Google search and Hoovers data to get a unified customer view that salesforce.com can't give you. Plus, any changes you make to the salesforce.com data are automatically published back to salesforce. The JotSpot wiki plays nicely with the rest of the web. 
|
Build applications, not just pages |
| The old way |
| Wikis are collections of unstructured text pages organized with hyperlinks. Without any structured data they become difficult to organize. |
| The JotSpot way |
|

Get secure wiki hosting - don't download wiki software |
| The old way |
| You have to download wiki software, allocate a computer, and spend several hours configuring it. Upgrading is equally cumbersome. |
| The JotSpot way |
|
Getting up and running with JotSpot's secure wiki hosting can be done in less than a minute. Upgrades and bug fixes happen automatically. |
