THING #16-Wikis

I first discovered Wikis in a google search i was doing on a specific subject. At the time I didn't really pay it much attention. Just thought this was some sort of on-line encyclopedia. What I didn't know was Wikipedia is just one way to use a wiki. There are multitude of things that a wiki really is. Starting with the name meaning QUICK in Hawaiian. Basically it is collaboration made smoother than in the past especially in the areas of communication. Website solcialization perhaps would be a better title. Great for coordinating and organizing input. I found this neat little video on explaining Wikis to people using pictures. This is a way anyone could understand. I found it in a google search (I still swear by this!) Check it out!

Back to Thing #14

Checked out Technorati and tagging.
I love the tagging idea, it is really just easy to categorize and/or search for topics. What a quick way to read about specific interests. (even when the interests aren't so educational- like reality TV shows!!) I am now going to try out the challenge assigned!
