I recall Brian’s RPG wiki- a predecessor to Kraka’s Holocam, obviously. It was a pretty cool idea, and one I’d like to work on at some point. But I’d never thought about using a wiki to plan my campaigns. Now that’s something I’m going to have to work with, given that my standard campaign includes excessively elaborate timelines and backstory that have little to no effect on the players, except for my wife, who gets to hear as much as I think I can get away with telling her without spoiling the story or boring her. however, since my general weakness as a GM is forgetting little details about things, this has some great potential.
Obsidian Portal looks promising- I’ve got a couple of campaign ideas I’ve been pondering, and this could be a great tool to organize those ideas.

“except for my wife, who gets to hear as much as I think I can get away with telling her without”
There was a Star Wars campaign where my wife heard all about the family lineage of a Star Destroyer captain. Who the party ran away from within 2 rounds.
Using a Wiki as a reference mid-session is a great idea. (I’ve thought of before and after but it slipped my mind the quick reference and linking ideas.)
Have you looked at http://pbwiki.com/? I use it with my students and dig it. The free wiki site that I had for Mutants and Masterminds was cool until I didn’t have a password on it and it went crazy.
Also, you can set up blog entries here that are private for you if you want to use my space (as opposed to myspace, where everyone would know about your super-villains allergy to chives).
I’m impressed with people’s recent articles. All I had planned was a review of “Please Be Kind, Rewind” (too much stereotypical “let’s get the neighborhood together to save the video store” and not enough Sweded movies (the Ghostbusters re-enactment was awesome and there’s a funny Lion King re-make, but the actual parodies (why we rented it) are a very tiny part of the movie)) (for the $1 kiosk, yes. All else, no.).
I had that and Baroque Obama
To quote my almost 4 year old daughter: “Oh my goodness!”
I love the Baroque Obama!
