Apple & Rumors: Yin & Yang
Rumor has it that Apple is going to release a bunch of fixes to Leopard next week. This is fabulous, because most of the AboutUs office uses Mac. Thinking about writing this post, we went to the the AboutUs WikiPage for AppleInsider.com, and saw it wasn't that good. We then went to Google and found out AppleInsider was part of CNET's Blog 100, so we added that to the page and reformatted some and it looks a little better. Then we thought, "what other rumor blogs are out there?", and added Category:Apple Rumor Blogs to the page. Turns out, that category didn't exist, but we added it to a few other pages and now it does exist. The category isn't much yet, but since AboutUs is a wiki, others that know more about the subject can make the category better.
Good thing we started the category because today a legal battle that has raged on for a few years between Apple and the ThinkSecret.com settled. ThinkSecret is shutting down, and even though they say it was amicable, the chilling effect is troubling.
AboutUs acquires 1-800-AboutUs
For the next few months, the 1-800-AboutUs number will be shared with the former owner of 800-226-8887, BasketAndFloral.com, as they transition to a new number. BasketAndFloral.com is a Florida-based floral and gift shop providing a variety of services and deliveries to the greater Orlando area. Their new 800 number is 888-855-0003.

Alex rocked out on his site and the WikiPage ActiveFind.net. This is the kind of beginning collaboration we like to see. He has learned a lot of basic wiki tools in the process and has helped himself in search engines. Now he will be able to work with the site if his community shows up!
Nathan made an interesting technical edit by moving the logged in people to the top right of the page. Vartan also helped in the technical arena by helping us focus on a long standing task of making images linkable - as an example our Values image.
Finally, for a bit of fun, Saad made the WikiPlane!

Last week saw some great action on basic tasks that this wiki, any wiki really, needs. Adam spent some good energy reverting bad edits. Nathan worked on shortening Long Pages and per our AdultContentPolicy flagged many pages . Nick showed everyone how to use images in headers and William showed how to tweak the MapMashup.
In addition to those important activities, two really BIG questions happened. First off, new to AboutUs, Patty asked a bunch of good questions, like: What is AboutUs, what can I do here?. Hopefully some of those questions got resolved for her, and her questioning will help clarify for everyone. Long time active member Simon is pointing out a major challenge we still have in front of us: how we make changes and communicate them in this wiki. It is a year old question, what are your thoughts?
