TiddlyWiki

David J. Young

Tuesday July 24th 2007 at 7:00pm
Wheaton, Illinois Institute of Technology - Rice Campus, Room 103

Abstract

What do you get when you cross a wiki with web 2.0? You get a very interactive and powerful interface.

In this presentation, we're going to take a close look at TiddlyWiki; "a reusable non-linear personal web notebook". Jeremy Ruston created TiddlyWiki, and in the process has created a new WritingStyle that exploits the use of MicroContent. With an active user community and powerful features, TiddlyWiki and it's adaptations are quickly becoming a popular WikiWikiWeb.

Come see the power of this "GuerillaWiki" by seeing some examples of TiddlyWiki pages. You just may become a convert.
