CDI's Career World WIKI

A WIKI is also a powerful collaborative tool particularly well suited to those with know-how to share. Ross Mayfield, CEO of Socialtext.com says," With both blogs and email, content tends to be relatively static. Typos may be corrected in a blog entry and email threads may carry on forever but there is little in the way of refinement of the content. This is where WIKIs step in: they are good tools for summarizing, annotating and connecting information. These are the actions of a knowledge enhancement system."

Bill Elowitz, CEO of WIKI Wetpaint says small business owners should, "Build a fabric of community and conversation around their company. Your customers are going to have conversations about your business whether you are there or not. Why not enable that conversation with a WIKI and be a part of it?"

When CDI first launched the Career World WIKI at www.careerworldwiki.com, the intent was to kick-off knowledge sharing within CDI membership to act as a focal point for the career management industry. As CDI grows, so does our visibility, which creates a huge opportunity for you to be part of our large knowledge database.

What CDI WIKI Contributors are Saying

"Being an author on CDI's Career World WIKI has been great for continuing to strengthen my credibility and industry profile in the careers sector whilst at the same time contributing to industry resources. It's also ideal for remaining up-to-date with the thoughts of other industry experts."

- Jill Kelly, Career Edge www.careeredge.com.au

"The CDI WIKI is an excellent place to broadcast your expertise and raise your online identity and site rankings. CPG sites receive over 5M unique visitors a year and it takes blogging, article writing, forming strategic alliances, advertising, and becoming an expert in niche markets to receive this kind of traffic. I highly recommend you seize the opportunity to post to the CDI WIKI and share your expertise."

- Barbara Adams, CareerPro Global, Inc. www.careerproplus.com

"CDI's Career World Wiki is another strategy in my online identity management toolkit for optimizing my visibility and credibility. My profile on the Career World Wiki is already ranked #9 for my name! Considering I write a lot of articles, have three active Web sites, and contribute to several popular blogs, as well as my own Career Goddess Blog, this is amazing."

- Susan Guarneri, Assessment Goddess www.assessmentgoddess.com
