What Is Wiki ? Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslink's between internal pages on the fly. Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself. Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.

Wikipedia is of growing importance as an encyclopedia, primarily because it is a free encyclopedia. If we were where we are now and it were 1999 Wikipedia is the 5th or 6th largest website in the world by traffic. Wikis show up in the top ten search results of 95% of all searches and about 50% of internet users use Google in any given day. Wikipedia is up with YouTube, Facebook and Twitter as one of the top websites in the world Facebook pages and YouTube channels have never even read their Wiki. Google searches for the top 5 largest companies in the world reveal Wikis as one of the top results on each one. Why Wiki is important ?

: Benefits of Wiki Wikis are social software in that they help connect people across an organisation. A wiki can help your staff get to know each other. Wikis can be used as a project mangement tool post meeting times, resources for a group, and for individuals to post what they're working on. People can email to brainstorm ideas; then post the results of the brainstorming to the Wiki where it can be sculpted. The low mental overhead in wiki usage is very popular - click "edit this page" to edit the page. Much easier than wrestling with a document on a shared drive, or even on your own hard drive. Easy to keep track of what's going on by watching the "recent changes" Keeps behind-the-scenes work out of email, freeing email for interactive conversation.

Blogs important for who ? Blogs don't "do" one thing. They can do many things, but you should always work backwards from your public relations goals in deciding… (1)whether to blog (2) who should be blogging, (3) what they will be blogging about (4) the style and tone of the writing,

: Benefits of Blogs content is published in a chronological fashion content is updated regularly readers have the possibility to leave comments other blog authors can interact via trackbacks and pingbacks content is syndicated via RSS feeds Keep in mind that it is the bundle of those features that should define a blog. An online forum could also offer an RSS feed for example, but that would not make it a blog.
