This is not Wikipedia.

But that does not mean it’s a site for shameless self-promotion – it is not

The purpose of WikIT is to provide a resource to help in taming the torrent of information that knowledge workers have to deal with now.

If you have a useful commercial product or service related directly to one of the topics covered in WikIT, you may:

  • Describe the product or service in neutral terms: Above all, be factual!
  • Make one link to a relevant page

You may not:

  • Link to “squeeze” pages.
  • Add hype, multiple links, links to pure marketing or spam pages.
  • Add descriptions of mind or concept mapping software – this seems pointless when there is already a site that covers this very extensively and in a neutral way at mind-mapping.org. An exception to this is when a particular kind of mind mapping software offers something that others do not and you want to describe how to use such a feature.

Changes or entries that do not comply with the above will be reversed out.
