PBworks is one of the pioneering companies that showed commercial enterprises the value of the wiki: that Web 2.0-spawned, wide-open website designed to allow visitors to add, change, and comment on content at will. When it was founded in 2005 as PBwiki, the company broke new ground with a hosting service that made wikis much easier to use. In fact, “PB” reportedly expresses the founders’ belief that setting up a wiki should be as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich.
The company rebranded in 2009, and now offers a range of real-time collaboration systems, from a basic free wiki to environments with fairly sophisticated management tools aimed at educators, businesses, and individuals. That year the company also launched the first version created specifically to provide secure, distributed-access workspaces for attorneys — workspaces authorized users can access from any location, but which also give administrators control over who has access to what.
