What is a Wiki

If you have done many searches lately you have probably seen some results from many of the different Wiki’s.  The most prominent of these is probably Wikipedia.  Listed as an online dictionary, Wikipedia CAN be a great source for informaton, but that reccommendation comes with a caution. 

A Wiki is a collaberative collection of information, normally open to all to post.  Though many of these sites, incluiding Wikipedia, are moderated this doesnt mean that all the information contained there is accurate.  Some Wiki’s like Wikipedia try to list information that has not been verified by an outside source as unconfirmed. 

The advantage of a Wiki is the age old adage “two heads are better then one”.  By allowing collaberation a Wiki can bring a collection of experts to a topic and give you the best and more up to date information available.  Give a Wiki a try.
