Our Experience with AboutUs and Web 2.0

We first stumbled upon AboutUs after running a few basic searches on a popular search engine. I had some previous experience with Wiki and Web 2.0, we quickly noticed that upon registration we could edit & thus optimise our page here. This started a chain of events, first of all we realized that the information we had about us on-line was actually rather out dated and needed to be freshened up. Just for helping us realize this we decided to opt in for a deluxe article, not knowing what to expect, we started the collaboration effort by pumping in as much information about us into the Wiki as humanly possible. Every day we would tweak the information displayed on AboutUs, upload videos, add new sections, re-arrange the content available and so forth. After some time we noticed that someone on the other end at about us was also helping us tweak the content we had available here. Next we optimise the content we had for some of our other websites, including our very own corporate site. The results were fantastic, a chain of events that only Web 2.0 could facilitate. Next, typing our brand name into a search engine displayed first our website and then an AboutUs page that we have control over. Perfect!! That's what we were looking for! A good web experience for us and our users. Well done AboutUs.org.
