Ross Mayfield from Social Text organised London’s inaugural Wiki Wednesday last night.

It was a chance for enterprises using Wikis and specialists in blogging and corporate communication internal and external to get together over some cold drinks. Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein were the enlightened hosts. Ross Mayfield talked about how Social Text had parlayed their understanding of how enterprises needed to set up internal comms into a promising business and discussed how companies can be comfortable with open source technology solutions as long as they have enterprise-level support. Stuart Berwick from DrKW (a Social Text client and evangelist) talked about interesting applications of folksonomy in managing client relationships. We talked about TiddlyWikis, toasting Jeremy Ruston in his absence. Johnnie Moore talked about protecting brands from the impact of sustained negative blogging. Suw Charman talked about working with Danny O’Brien on her DRM initiative … and by that stage the evening was seriously but enjoyably off-topic.

The idea is to repeat the event on the first Wednesday of every month.
