The Jot.com homepage has changed today. I have to admit, I didn’t see this one coming! I am excited about it, yet I wonder what the future holds. One thing I noticed from the FAQ page is that is will all be free.
We will no longer be billing customers for the use of the service.
Interesting. Sounds like a new link will be popping up next to the Docs & Spreadsheets link when I sign in! With Google beginning to forge a path into the education market, I almost wonder what affect (if any) this will have on Wikispaces.
Ok, so I will hold my predictions, since I am not as entrenched into the wiki market as others, but I do know a couple folks who won’t be happy with this since it will theoretically require a Google login. Privacy concerns? I’m not sure, but one thing is for certain, the wiki market just took a sharp turn.

I actually started up a Wikispaces account after reading through your exhaustive review of various wiki tools. I’m glad that I did, because while I do love “the Google”, I’m much happier having my wiki experience hosted on a site non-google. Especially because I have the power to have the domain redirected to my own private domain if and when I need to (thinking about pointing it towards something on our school site).
