Well, the name alone drew me to this site when I scanned over all of the apps on this page. Who doesn't like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? So part of the way to get people to go to your site is through the name. I guess those Marketing classes are important too.
Anyway, PBWiki is for on-line collaboration and project management. This is especially important in the company I work for because I am often asked to help teams with members across the country. In the past, when one of us worked on a document we would send it to the rest of the team for feedback. Then, the author had to combine the often confusing feedback into one document. According to the site, PBwiki Small Business Edition is perfect for small businesses and small teams/groups in larger companies looking for an easy, secure way to collaborate at work. Plus, you can make and use a PBwiki as easy as a peanut butter sandwich – no IT required.
There are different editions, business, legal and academic. After looking more closely at the academic site, I realized this is what we are using for this class. Yes, it is late and I am a little slow right now. I have to admit, this is a much better platform for a distance learning class than the typical Blackboard platform. If I ever taught an on-line class, I would consider using this too.
There are also business applications of this site that I may explore more for my job. The link is:

Web 2.0 App - Survs
Since I am not in Education, I decided to look at the Apps under the "Management" tag bar. Survs has the ability to create on-line surveys. This is important to me because I am often asked to create surveys at work or to collect data quickly.
Looking at the pricing, it is better than other sites I have looked at like Survey Monkey. In fact, at no cost you can create unlimited surveys and have up to 200 responses. There are multiple packages that range up to 24000 responses and 24 users for $119 a month. $119 a month is cheap if you have a strong need to collect data, which a lot of companies do. I collect a lot of data in my job via surveys and am always looking for other options. People have come to expect a survey be delivered over e-mail.
Here is the link http://www.survs.com/
Try it out. It may be a cheap option for people working on data collection for a thesis or dissertation too.
