Abstract

Collaboration systems like wikis are seen as efficient tools for supporting structured content, but their success depends on many non-technical issues, like user participation. On the other hand, people are increasingly sharing content in social networks, although with no or little organization. In this scenario, we propose the Wikimark approach, a way for generating structured content by merging the wiki concept and the content sharing behavior seen in social networks. This paper presents the concept proposition and the related early-stage experiment, uxmarks.com.
