World's Best Place Wiki

That would be our very own Davis Wiki. Michael Andersen writing last week" for the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard comes up with “Six lessons from the world’s best local wiki”, discussing how the quirky origins of the Davis Wiki — developed by a couple of students in their spare time, seeded with 500 pages of good original content on the town — has led to such a large and massively useful site (it has 14,000 pages of content and gets 10,000 hits a day). He suggests that corporations for the most part have been really, really bad at managing sites with content for a locality coming from its denizens, and that folks getting into that business had best have a look at the Davis Wiki!
