web site or blog? : creating a thoroughly edit-able web presence
Perhaps the easiest way to get information onto the web is by way of a 'web log' ( "blog"). At times, a web site can be as simple as an easily edited $10/month blog. What you're looking at right now is a blog.

JaJah: a simple way to cut your phone bills
JaJah may be the voice-over-internet approach that a LOT of people will enjoy. Go to jaJah.com In a model of simplicity - you're given two little boxes to fill in and a button to press. Assuming you're in grabbing range of either a regular or mobile phone - that's all there is.
From a JaJah fan's comments:
--
The idea is truly simple: see a number on your screen, call it, talk via your own phone, save money. Calls triggered through JAJAH WEB are phone-to-phone, you don't need a headset, a microphone or a special Internet phone to use it and you are not tied to your machine when talking to your friends. JAJAH WEB is as simple as searching a keyword in Google and JAJAH WEB is as comfortable as any regular phone call, but much cheaper. And last but not least you can use JAJAH WEB also with Mac or Linux operating systems."
Simple. It doesn't require much technology. And it saves you money.

TiddlyWiki: a single file, PC-based, portable 'notebook for ideas'
There's something intriguing here -- a simple tool (basically a single .html file you store on your computer and open with your browser) that creates the ability to organize small chunks of information you find useful.
Like many wiki-ish things, it seems to take pride in a funny name: "TiddleWiki."
From Wikipedia:
TiddlyWiki From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TiddlyWiki is a wiki-modeled client-side application written by Jeremy Ruston that is well suited for use as a personal notebook. It is a self-contained HTML file that includes CSS and JavaScript code. When it is downloaded to a user's PC, TiddlyWiki has the unusual ability, when brought up in some browsers, of being able to overwrite itself on the user's disk at the user's request. So following TiddlyWiki conventions, users can make a new entry, called a Tiddler, in their local copy of the TiddlyWiki file and save it for future reference by saving the TiddlyWiki file. Existing Tiddlers can also be modified or deleted in the same way.
TiddlyWiki is published by Osmosoft under a BSD open source license, which makes it freely available. Jeremy Ruston describes it as experimental, and in that spirit many people have used the original HTML file to create TiddlyWiki Adaptations. These fall under two general categories; those that retain the client-side write only feature, and those that add server-side file writing to make TiddlyWiki more like a true wiki. Links to both these kinds of Adaptations are put in the original TiddlyWiki file as they become known. TiddlyWiki Adaptations typically add features that were not originally envisioned by Ruston, and some of these features have been included in newer versions of TiddlyWiki.
A feature that sets TiddlyWiki apart from a standard wiki implementation is its content presentation.
Jeremy Ruston had this to say about it:
A TiddlyWiki is like a blog because it's divided up into neat little chunks (tiddlers), but it encourages you to read it by hyperlinking rather than sequentially: if you like, a non-linear blog analogue that binds the individual microcontent items into a cohesive whole. I think that TiddlyWiki represents a novel medium for writing, and will promote its own distinctive WritingStyle. Although a TiddlyWiki is ideal for keeping notes, it can also be used as the foundation for a complete Web site. Its single file structure makes it easy to manage while providing an elegant Web experience.
