Wikis

Wikis – Wikis are much like blogs except that all visitors have the ability to add, edit or delete information. Seems sort of weird doesn’t it? The goal is to use a wiki to create a collaborative piece of knowledge. If all of mankind is separated by 6 degrees, well then, all of man’s knowledge is only 6 separations away. Not so silly is it? Take a look at Wikipedia and search for your own piece of profound wisdom.How do these topics connect?

Wikis and Blogs are both communication venues which can change easily. They also are sources which must be verified for accurate and credible information. This is why college professors do not accept "Wikipedia" as a reference source and, in fact, some colleges have banned the use of "Wikipedia" for research.
