The new motorola: The Wki

This is special (hat tip to my man on the West Coast, Hashem)

Motorola has launched a wiki to coincide with the launch of the Q.

Here's a quote from the Moto clan:

"Because the possible applications for the Q are always expanding, the "ideal user guide" would always grow and change. That can’t happened on paper. With your help, this wiki can capture and share the ever-growing knowledge of the greater community of Q users.

Frankly, Motorola can’t possibly know how the Q will work in all situations – who could? But we love our Q users and want to learn from them, help them, and make our products better in the future."

What I REALLY love about this is the numerator factor (that's for Len), as opposed to the denominator treatment. Companies are always trying to minimize cost or risk, as opposed to maximizing return or reward. Case in point, many companies are putting user guides on a CD or worse still, downloadable from a website (as opposed to printing them) This is as transparent as day.

Motorola on the other hand, have opened up themselves to allow their community to build a human guide (as opposed to a user guide), and in doing so will no doubt uncover rich, diverse and incredible valuable tips, tricks, tutorials etc.

Bravo!
