The first wiki was created by Ward Cunningham in 1995. He first developed this software in 1994 and installed it to the internet in 1995. It's designed as a powerful system for online communities to build web pages and websites.
What is a wiki?
A wiki is a collaborative website that comprises the perpetual collective work of many author's. Similar to a blog in structure and logic, a wiki allows anyone to edit, delete, or modify content that has been placed on the website using a browser interface, including the work of previous authors. It is designed as a powerful system for online communities to build web pages and websites.
Why is it useful?
It is useful because they contain lot's of information that people need. If it's wrong, it's easy for anyone to correct it, which means that in time, a highly accurate and high quality resource is created.
Personal uses
The wiki can also be used for information that you may not know or want to know. You may want to influence individual writer's to submit their information that can be helpful to others. Dont always believe what you read in a wiki unless it has reliable resources backing up they're description's.
Overall, wiki's are influential, shaping collaborative online content development, and are likely to become increasingly popular. The more popular it gets the more potential wiki abuse will occur.
This is some information on wikis i have learned in class today.
I like the way you set this up.
