wikispaces vs. pbwiki

I have used pbwiki very minimally in the past, but this week's assignment really helped me to feel more confident with it! Previously I had added content to someone else's wiki using the service (in this class, in the 23 Things program, and at work), but creating a wiki, along with my colleague, was really empowering. I found that pbwiki was as easy to use as any word processing program.

I thought that wikispaces seemed just as easy to use at first. And I really liked the sleek interface and pop-up windows. Also, it seemed even easier to add an image to a page in wikispaces than in pbwiki. However, I really got tripped up when I tried to insert a piece of code from Goodreads into my wikispaces wiki. I'd done this on my pbwiki page, so it shouldn't have been a problem, but nothing I tried worked and the help page was not particularly helpful. I think I'll be sticking with pbwiki. After all, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
