    Nobody pays me to write any of the copy on my blog, and should I ever have the good fortune that they do, I will declare it. How do I make my money? I am lucky to have several sources of income, although producing different amounts. Firstly, I am director and equity holder with Virtual Surveys. I also own and operate The Future Place consultancy. The Future Place provide two key services 1) training and services to industry and academic bodies and 2) consultancy services to companies. The details of the companies I work with are a private matter, but if I blog about any company who has paid The Future Place recently (approx two years) I will mention that they are a client. Colmar Brunton is a major client of The Future Places, with an exclusinve partnership in terms of the Asia-Pacific region. The industry and academic organisations for whom I have provided services in return for compensation over the last couple of years are (listed alphabetically): AMSRS, ESOMAR, MRS, and University of Georgia. Additionally I am an elected Councillor with Gedling Borough Council. I am currently a back bench member, which means I receive an annual sum of £3,500, and I am entitled to claim out-of-pocket expenses. Organisations I am a member of (listed alphabetically) inlcude: ESOMAR MRS CND Liberal Democrat Party Association of Liberal Democrat Councillors, National Trust, and Mellish Rugby Football Club.

Wikis are more than just Wikipedia?

Wired have a really useful article by Ryan Singel looking at Wikis. Most people are familiar with Wikipedia, but wikis in general are less familiar.

The article highlights some other collaborative wiki projects, such as travel, sports, and taxes. The article also discusses how companies are using wikis internally to document projects, and draws a distinction between enterprise and citizen wikis.

One question for the likes of ESOMAR and the UK’s MRS is where are the research wiki projects? Why aren’t we using wiki’s to consolidate best practice, definitions, and to develop a participatory plan for the future?

Great question and one I've asked myself. This seems like a no-brainer. Maybe I'll be the first one to market with MRWiki.
