A wiki is a database of pages which visitors can edit live."
The building blocks of wikis are the "comments" from visitors. You can generally edit a page in real time, search the wiki's content, and view updates since your last visit. In a "moderated wiki," wiki owners review comments before addition to the main body of a topic. Additional features can include calendar sharing, live AV conferencing, RSS feeds and more.
What Can a Wiki Do for Me?
A wiki makes it easy to swap ideas and information on projects--whether for a family vacation or a complex business enterprise.
A wiki opens the door to experts and shy silent types alike, increasing creativity, expertise, and productivity all around. Wikis end the waste of ricocheting emails and communication breakdowns--wikis literally get everyone "on the same page." |
