Intuit's wiki ways win word-of-mouth
"A cutting-edge example of Intuit's wiki success is TaxAlmanac.org. The site is a wiki about taxes for tax professionals. Users can research tax laws and regulations, ask questions and share information and best practices, and it's free. "In a matter of weeks and months, thousands of accountants were using the site to collect and share information," says Steve Cook. Wiki technology is an example of a social software program that will enable you to constantly connect with your customers, and your customers with one another, and like TaxAlmanac.org, if done right, can create thriving communities that will get your customers talking about you."

33 Wikis: # 16 -- The Tax Almanac
"There are so many reasons we like this wiki, starting with the corporate sponsorship ... TaxAlmanac is a smart use of a collaborative environment where everyone can benefit -- the professional community and the corporate sponsor alike -- while the burden of developing and maintaining the wiki is distributed. Second, this is a very good resource that taps the wisdom of a very sophisticated crowd that live and work across the country. And it's a nicely designed (organized) wiki, making it easier for participants to find what they need and contribute."
