For my wiki comparison, I decided to try wikispaces. Its setup was very quick and painless, faster than pbwiki. Once in, I noticed Google AdSense ads on the side (though to be fair, pbwiki also has ads; I just haven't seen them since my pbwiki experiences have been with wikis for education (without ads).
Wikispaces' editing interface seemed more limited than pbwiki's, although it might just be because I'm used to the pbwiki interface. I tried embedding a VoiceThread, but wasn't able to do it; that might be because I couldn't decide whether it qualified as video, audio or other media.
One different feature in wikispaces is the appearance of a field for notes on a revision when one is in editing mode. These notes can be added to the history log and are a nice feature.
Once again, I feel as though I need to dig deeper into wikispaces in order to ferret out more distinctions between it and pbwiki. The more you play with these services, the more quirks you find, and the more you refine your understanding of them.
