EditMe is featured in the new book Wikis for Dummies from the #1 best selling computer book series. I spoke with the author, Dan Woods, several months ago while he was writing the book, and am glad to finally see the results in print. This is an excellent resource for enthusiastic newcomers to the wiki phenomenon.

A foreword from wiki inventor Ward Cunningham gives the book a nod of approval. In it, he writes, "[This book] shows you in plain English and with many examples just how powerful your computer becomes when you're at a wiki. Dan and Peter show you big ones, little ones, noisy ones, and quiet ones. They show you wikis that are for work and wikis at play. You're going to love this book. Party on." 

In the book, Dan highlights EditMe site tortoisetours.com while writing about small business brochure wikis and calls it "a fine example of a wiki that just looks like a great Web site." The book also recommends EditMe in the Ease of Use category of hosted wikis.
