Wikis are now serious business and for music. Wiki just released a new addition to the Wikipedia family,WikiAudio. This site provides a new way to educated music fanatics. Sites like Last.fm, Imeem, Myspace, iLike, only purpose is to promote material rather an educate the masses on other areas of music outside of just artists and the most popular songs out. Conceived by Bill Turner, who teaches at the Ex’pression College For Digital Arts in Emeryville, California; and co-founded by Lathan Hodge, a filmmaker and former executive at BET; the founders envision “Wikiaudio growing to become the premier audio tech community on the net.” WikiAudio is making a step ahead becoming the premier “one stop” website for novices and professionals to network, educate, learn, and connect. The website combines both social networking and “Wiki” landscapes to create a hybrid that incorporates articles, videos, audio files, tutorials, user profiles, forums, blogs, RSS feeds, job listings and more. Once you register, you can use this virtual encyclopedia to create or modify educational information about music and its production, though its not necessary to sign up in order to browse WikiAudio´s many features. One can learn about new recording techniques and the latest in production software. It is like other Wikipedia forums, WikiAudio serves as a networking defice as well, allowing music enthusiasts to share information among each other, educating themselves in the process.
