The Semiconductor Wiki Project, the premier semiconductor collaboration site, is a growing online community of professionals involved with the semiconductor design and manufacturing ecosystem. Since going online January 1st, 2011 more than 400,000 unique visitors have landed at www.SemiWiki.com viewing more than 3M pages of blogs, wikis, and forum posts. WOW!

Anybody can blog on SemiWiki and quite a few people do for personal fulfillment and professional enrichment.

Today everything and everyone is connected and crowd sourced. In fact, all social media, from blogs, to forums and wikis have a profound impact on how people communicate, search for information, and make decisions. Both personally and professionally, social media is no longer an experiment or a moonlighting function, social media is now an integral part of how we communicate.

Blogging is a life changing experience. Blogging is personal branding and can take you from relative obscurity to an internationally recognized industry professional. Blogging is mind expanding and develops communication skills you may never have known possible. One warning however, blogging is addictive. Once you turn it on it is very hard to turn off.

For me blogging is where I think, plan, and reflect. Blogging encourages me to research, gather credible information, and test hypotheses. Blogging is sometimes dangerous and nurtures my risk taking side but also extremely collaborative and provides a real-time feedback loop never before possible. Most importantly, my wife reads my blogs and now after 30+ years together she actually knows what I do for a living besides sitting in my La-Z-Boy with my laptop. She now knows what a semiconductor is, what EDA means, and why semiconductor IP is so important to our everyday lives.

You will get exposure and access to semiconductor professionals at all levels, from CEOs to CTOs to engineers, marketing, sales, and public relations people, the entire semiconductor ecosystem at your fingertips.
