T-Mobile launches consumer wiki in the US
US mobile carrier T-Mobile has launched a Wiki site for its Sidekick users. The Wiki style of software is most commonly known for its use in the online encyclopedia called Wikipedia. The Sidekick Wiki site, located at Sidekick.Wetpaint.com, is a community based website where all of the content will be written and maintained by Sidekick customers. While T-Mobile will not be creating the content on the site, they say that T-Mobile reps might occasionally “pop” onto the site’s discussion forums to answer some questions.
The site offers a number of features to Sidekick owners, such as “Me & My Sidekick” and “Pimp My Sidekick”, where people can create personal profiles as well as swap tips for customizing their devices. As is the case with other Wiki sites, users can add their own pages as well as make changes to existing pages on the Wiki site.
