Wetpaint Readies New Feature Launch

Next week, wiki provider Wetpaint will formally announce several new features. This evening Devin highlighted the new features on the Wetpaint blog.

Video galleries – Wetpaint offers photo galleries currently and Devin notes that the video galleries will work in a similar fashion. I’ve posted a screenshot below of what the gallery page looks like.

More droplets – droplets are basically widgets that you can share anywhere. The idea is if you spend time creating a Wetpaint wiki, you will want to show it off on the social networks and on blogs/websites. It looks like the new droplet is called "Site at a Glance" and combines a variety of the current droplets to make one super droplet.

New organizational tools – looks like a variety of usability upgrades for users and content creators.

Discussion Forums 2.0 – Devin teases that the big upgrades for the forums will come in a future release. But for now they are upgrading the ability to make forum posts sticky and keep them on top.

Wetpaint has raised $40 million in venture capital funding to-date.
