The company has carried that approach over to its new product; Elowitz says the new functions can be added by just pasting a short snippet of code to a webpage. At the same time, the user-generated content is customizable in look and format, and should blend in with the rest of the page.

We are not a Wiki play, but you pretty much can do everything that you can do with Wetpaint and PBWiki, including a whole bunch of other things. Sampa is a site/blog service. We are also running on a shoestring budget. Check it out: http://www.sampa.com Another quick plug for Sampa (I’m the founder).

Socialtext used to be quite ugly, but the new UI is quite nice - it misses a <a href="http://www.zoliblog.com/blog/_archives/2006/10/5/2389776.html" rel="nofollow">few features</a> though.  The new kid on the block is  <a href="http://www.zoliblog.com/blog/_archives/2006/12/20/2587241.html" rel="nofollow">Zoho's Wiki </a>, with quite a few features for an initial beta release. It already supports embedding documents, spreadsheets, presentations, videos..etc, and with improved integration to the full Zoho suite later this year it will be a killer combination.
