Wikake in the Press

Ravi — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:30:00 +0000

I posted this on Raviblog earlier, but wanted to point out Robert Weisman's front page Boston Globe article on wikis that gave a great description of the Wikake. That article did a better job in explaining the concept of the wikake to my mom than I could!

And it was later reprinted in The Tech... so it's a story with legs.

The Wikake will be unveiled and consumed this Sunday at the meeting of the Boston Media Makers in Jamaica Plain.

I may have to play the role of tie-breaker in determining the form of the cake... it's a deadlock between mini-bundt and cupcake right now!
