I recently received an announcement that WetPaint (the free-wiki site)
has Gone Social ! [:-)

"Wetpaint Adds New Social Dimension to Wikis

Wetpaint becomes the first fully social publishing platform giving
consumers all the tools needed to create dynamic, interactive websites

(Seattle, Wash. - March 10, 2008) Wetpaint, the leading social
publishing platform with a network of over 750,000 social sites, today
unveiled a complete set of social networking features to supercharge
creation of content on its award-winning wiki service that now unifies
the two things people love to do online - socialize and share content
with others.With the addition of such new features as a Friends Network,
Custom Member Profiles, a What*s New site activity dashboard and
Friends Feeds, Wetpaint has created the first truly integrated social
publishing platform, empowering anyone to easily create a completely
social and collaborative website.

[snip]

By fusing its best-in-class publishing tools with social networking
features that increase user connection and communication, Wetpaint sites
provide the ideal environment for anyone to quickly and easily create a
website that flourishes with interaction, discussion and collaboration,
resulting in rich content that attracts new members and bigger
audiences."
