Wiki's

I'd never known what Wiki actually meant. Hawaiian for quick...interesting. I guess quickie was already taken (man that was bad.) Actually with Wiki's, I have found that wetpaint is probably the most user-friendly that I have found. It can't do a whole lot, but it has done everything I've needed it for.

I think that wikis are going to come up in the world of business. A peer-edited, company-relevant encyclopedia of whatever would definitely come in handy for training. This would be especially useful if one could integrate this kind of technology at a company's inception. It would make training for the staff of that company tremendously easier to develop. It would also provide a pretty solid training aid.

Keep in mind, there are weaknesses to a wiki. If all your peers are idiots overconfident in their knowledge of a certain topic, it can really make that peer-edited feature a pitfall. However, despite this, I think we'll see them popping up more and more.
