The eOK .network

I love wikis. The concept of the open canvas empowered by crowdsourcing is simply one of the best things to happen on the social media. Recently I’ve been looking around for Singapore resources on wikis and realised there aren’t too many that are really exciting.

Apart from the Singapore Social Media directory which was put together by my Media Socialist friends, I thought up some ideas that could be worth creating a wiki about:

• Singapore-wide carpark rates - It helps a lot to know the next building is charging less for parking.
• Mobile phone & plan prices - I’ve come to realise that those ads with phone prices that appear in the newspapers everyday are one of the most read resources by Singaporeans. I think it’s time it became a dynamic resource online, don’t you?
• Singapore media directory - OK, this is a selfish suggestion simply because I work in PR. But still, a directory that’s more complete and updated than MICA’s media guide would be a nice to have.
• Yellowpages & Whitepages wiki - Why not turn our trusted directories into wikis?
• Wi-Fi hotspot wiki - Listing and maps of locations with public Wi-Fi. Or should we just do wardriving and map the locations on Google Maps?
• Hotel rates - This is more for visitors to Singapore. Since hotel rates fluctuate so often, it’ll be nice to see a consolidated view. It’ll also help keep the hotels competitive.

Anymore wiki ideas? If anyone wants to take these ideas and run, please do so. Let me know and I’ll be your top power user.
