I'm [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]]. This is my personal database about people and stuff on the Internet. I add pages here occasionally when I have the time and energy. If you're looking for systematic information sources try instead the [http://www.crunchbase.com CrunchBase] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia].

I'm [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]]. This is my personal database about people and stuff on the Internet. I add pages here occasionally about things that interest me. (If you're looking for systematic information sources try instead [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia] or the [http://www.crunchbase.com CrunchBase].) Related information about how to use the Internet I put onto my [http://iuserguide.com Internet User Guide].

==Is this website a wiki?==
This website runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, which is the wiki software used by Wikipedia. This might give the false impression that the website is a wiki. But in fact only registered users can edit pages, and the only registered user at the moment is [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]].

This website runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, which is the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] software used by Wikipedia. This might give the impression that the website is a collaborative wiki. But the only authorized user is [[User:Michael|Michael Slattery]], and the site is thus my [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_wiki personal wiki]. Note that [[Loic Lemeur]] has [http://twitter.com/loic/status/67020275639779328 tweeted] that personal wikis seem like "totally a thing of the past."
