EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.
Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites.
The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis.
Wikis are used in business to provide intranet (click here to read a very interesting case study of a wiki used as intranet and realise all the advantages it has) and Knowledge Management systems.
Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".

If you feel curious try to design your own wiki on any the following sites:
