Re:[tw5] For a reader, is TiddlyWiki better than reading a PDF, and why? Wrong question. What is the function of a PDF? What is the function of TiddlyWiki? Well it can be boiled down to -
* A PDF was a concept to provide an immutable text document. That tech has figured out how to bend the rules does not invalidate the intent of a PDF. * A Wiki was a concept to provide a mutable text document for both creator and reader. Different mission, different context. A PDF is best for providing a reproducible document fairly free from tampering. The reader would have the same experience today or 20yrs from now a copy of 'Clear and Present Danger'. The reader's context may change but the document has not. A Wiki in a sense is a proof of work, a chorus of many if so allowed, updated as circumstances dictate. Its best use is via the creator(s) of the document(s). It can benefit the reader provided the understanding is the wiki can change. The Wiki would be great for creating the resume, terrible for distributing it. I will not provide my resume in anything other than PDF form. I have been in way too many instances where a headhunter changed the content of a resume (in .docx form) that I should not have been, would not have considered, the interview. You are your own brand, never let someone else modify your marketing. It can have disastrous consequences.
