A/B Testing at PBworks
At PBworks, we take our data seriously. So it should be no surprise to learn that we use A/B testing techniques to aid our product and website development decisions.

Official Announcement – We're changing our name!
When PBwiki launched in 2005, our founder David was excited to build a fast and easy way to create a wiki.
