A few weeks back, I wrote about how we use a wiki internally at RD2. I’ve come to use the wiki so much as a sort of knowledge repository, that I installed one for myself on my personal site to store information like grocery lists, project ideas, and information I might need to remember in the future (such as phone numbers or old addresses)...
Inside RD2: Our Wiki
Jun 14 2006
One of the most powerful tools we use internally at RD2 is our wiki. What is a wiki? A wiki is a web site with functionality which allows users to add, edit, and delete content from a page within the site easily. One way to think of it is like a public bulletin board which anyone can change or update — anyone can add/delete pages and update/revise content on the wiki.
In the case of the RD2 wiki, we have it installed on an internal server, so it is only accessible on the RD2 network. Wikis can be extremely useful inside organizations for their ability to streamline information sharing...

Let The Users Choose

When Verizon SuperPages released a new marketing style guide with a new color palette, it was time to refresh Advertise With Us and add additional focus on new product areas.
RD2 came in to provide Information Architecture and Design support to the team. After assessing the requirements for the various pages, looking at competitors and other market leaders, and creating the IA plan, our design team set to work...

Apr 27 2006
Last week I wrote about having the opportunity to teach some talented people about blogging. Now, we can talk about our project. Presenting: Nuts About Southwest, the airline industry’s first corporate blog.
The people at Southwest have been dreaming up the blog for quite a while now, and brought RD2 in a few months ago to share our experience in blogging, web design, and development.
One of our recommendations was the use of WordPress to run the blog...
