What’s A Wiki? Here Is A Quick Guide

By Tim

With the spirit of imbuing the Portland Social Media blog with timely, and helpful content, I’m posting a link to MediaShift, titled Your Guide to Wikis. A short history of the Wiki is given as well as a high-level technological explanations.

A wiki is simply a web page that can be written or edited by the public or a group of people. What sets wikis apart from other web pages is the simple way that anyone can edit or add to an existing page, or start a new page.

Feel free to add helpful links to explaining Wikis in the comment section - I’ll update the post next week with all the links added.
