Thanks Erwan for your reply. If I could make something go viral I would have done it with Tiddlywiki almost a decade ago. I have always used it as an individual and have told everyone I can about it as it is one of the most useful things I have ever used. It is amazing and thanks again Jeremy for spending your time on it for all these years.
In regards to needing more time for documentation, coding, creating new and better features, I don't disagree. That doesn't mean we don't work on creating the next level of awareness. Ask your neighbor if he knows what TiddlyWiki is, and then ask him if he Tweets. The goal of this thread was not to make TW5 viral, it is to make TW5 social. I feel once TW5 is social it would go viral quickly after that. By social I mean, Share My Tiddler, Help me with My Tiddler, Show me your TiddlyWiki Tiddlers. That is why I asked if TW5 has adopted any existing social linking like @ and # in another post. TiddlyWiki has had # before there were #. So if we had all the features we wanted. If we had all the documentation we wanted. We had all the things we wanted in TiddlyWiki. What would you do next? For me, as a long time user, TiddlyWiki has no social presence and I think it would become a whole new boatload of awesome if it did. Not Web Presence but TiddlyWiki the best notebook you don't own, could be the best social notebook that nobody owns. I still think it will crash servers as people will love using it, #heheh.
