A wiki was the missing piece of software in the Google Docs suite.
Wikidot.com is a wiki hosting project that allows Users to build web sites, collaboratively edit content and communicate.

Last night, Google and Wikidot signed an draft agreement which foresees:

- Wikidot will be fully integrated into the Google Docs suite as soon as possible
- Wikidot services will be fully localized as from 1 January 2010

I imagine CADIE will perform autonomous editing tasks.
;-) eh,eh,eh!
I would say this is an historical day!
My heart jumped for a moment with terror! Then I realised that… errr… it's for the best, hehe.
I read elsewhere that the first thing the new partnership will do is to introduce adsense for conversations. According to an anonymous source inside Wikidot Inc., "This will provide the users of our free accounts another option to control the placement of our ads."
