#16 – Wikiing? Wiki-ing? Wiking?

Big fan of wikis in general. It caters to the contributive types (like tagging) but still vastly usable by the general public. Even someone like myself, who is greatly averse to tagging, is much more tempted to edit and add to articles because they’d be adding actual cohesive information, easy to interpret and digest.

Also, the functionality of wiki sites is immense. Creating hyperlinks to associated articles via their keywords is incredibly useful and feeds a broader source of information to the user without them having to look up subjects linearly. Of course, this ability could be available on every site imaginable, but wikis have fostered the idea of it, let it grow and have the idea take hold with the public.

The Library Success wiki is a great example of community knowledge. The presentation is useful, easily sorted, and most importantly easily edited to adapt for changing ideas and ideals.

The rhymes were intricate and every line was filled with alliteration and the best poetic tricks
