But before I go on with this, let me give a brief explanation on what wiki is; because I'm sure some of you don't have any idea of this service. To start with, wiki is a website that may be easily and quickly developed by a community using only the Web browser on their computer. Wikis are easy to use by groups with common interests or communities of practice. Here's some of the pluses of using wiki and it is discussed in great length in here:
- Wikis provide a virtual presence
- Wikis support a variety of interactions within a community
- Participating on a wiki is very easy
- Valuable content can be created using a wiki
- Connections to a broader subject field
- Wikis support personal and community identities and interactions
- Wikis support democratic participation
- Wikis enable evolution over time
For better understanding and insight, don't forget to spend few minutes on the video placed at the front page of WetPaint.
Ok now more on this particular service. WetPaint has been around since 2006 and keep evolving into a better and better wiki service.
