PBworks (formerly PBwiki[2]) is a commercial real-time collaborative editing (RTCE) system created by David Weekly, with Ramit Sethi[citation needed] and Nathan Schmidt, who joined shortly thereafter as co-founders.

[5] In 2005, David Weekly began developing software to build privately hosted wikis through a website, which he named "PeanutButterWiki".

In early 2008, the company launched PBworks 2.0, an improved version with a new layout, more granular security, and a more easily customizable color scheme.

[12] Major companies using PBworks to host internal documents include CafePress.com, Capgemini, Deloitte, Financial Times, Kiva, and Wideload Games.

[citation needed] On April 28, 2009, PBwiki changed its name to PBworks (and at the same time launched a new Legal Edition).
