Creating Wikis

Wiki

A wiki (means ‘quick’ in Hawaiian) is like a public website or web page. For example, a person starts a topic by sharing an article and other users can edit, delete or change it in whatever way they want. In this way a wiki differs from a blog. In blogs there is a blog owner and other visitors or followers can just make some comments on the posting of that owner while in wikis anyone can make changes or edits on the postings. So wikis are more interactive than blogs because they can have writers more than one on the same article. A wiki provides a collaborative writing environment for users. And using a wiki is very easy. You just signs up and create a Wiki account for free and then start to use it. You can add new pages to a wiki besides editing previous ones. One of the most famous wikis is Wikipedia. It is an online encyclopedia which provides users add, edit, and change what they want to. There are also other free web sites to set up wikis on the Internet and some of them are Pbwiki (short for ‘peanut butter wiki’), MediaWiki, and Wikihost.
