The Fastest Growing Website: WikiBios

Filed in archive Communications on April 9, 2007

Have you checked it out? WikiBios - the fastest growing website on the net. According to somebody, I'm sure.

Here's how it works. You set up an account and then rather than fill a survey out about yourself - you email 5 of your closest friends/family/co-workers to fill it out for you.

Granted, it takes a bit of trust. But the idea being that others will be more objective about you than you will yourself.

So I did it. I set up a bio page for Deborah Chaddock Brown. I emailed my five favorite people - oops, you didn't hear from me? Well, I MEANT to pick you but I could only chose five.

Anyway - now they will receive a note asking them to write about me. Actually, anyone can write about you - not just those five people.

I can also set up a bio page on someone else! Ooh, this could be fun.

So why do it?

It's one more opportunity for exposure on the web - another opportunity to get your name out there. Clearly you want to choose carefully when asking for input - like this posting - of course only my closest friends are reading it - but it's an opportunity for your peers to share what makes you GREAT with the web-world.

Give it some thought. Check it out - it's pretty interesting.
