Wikipedia Founder’s Facebook Competitor Is Basic And Buggy (But Interesting)

Perhaps not shockingly, WT:Social looks very much like a wiki.
There’s a list of subwikis (think Groups in Facebook) to join, a place to post something, a social/news feed, a list of wikis you decide to follow upon joining. Oh, and a widget to invite more people.
I can’t say it’s visually appealing, and not all functionality works.

It’s interesting to establish a social network with a similar ethos as Wikipedia, but there’s a lot of work to be done.
Sill, there’s potential here.
Wikipedia grew from a dream to an experiment to a global phenomenon. If Jimmy Wales can repeat the trick, we might get some real competition in social media
