The wiki “WOW” factor

by SuziZiegler on 23 October 2009

As one of the newest members of the AboutUs.org community, I’m constantly reminded of the power and diverse benefits of wiki.

There’s so much useful information to discover in an AboutUs.org list or domain page. The lists and links within these pages can help us find anything from technical support in a specified field to a cool shortcut for an otherwise laborious task. Sometimes a list guides us to something that’s just plain fun!

Anyone can edit a wiki. Fresh knowledge added by many people equals a concise list that springs to life.

While you can read a great article on a specific topic in The New York Times online, the links in the article will be limited to whatever the writer decided was link-worthy.

By contrast, a wiki article may contain numerous links and relevant information added by others with expertise in the field. These contributions can vastly enrich the accuracy and breadth of a piece.

AboutUs lists have directed countless people to find new tools, music, films, books, travel tips and more. The possibilities are endless. Collaborative lists aren’t just another technological twist – they’re a way of life.

The wiki “WOW” factor. How can this super-interactive tool enhance your life…?

Wow, I never quite realized how powerful a Wiki is. I’ve heard about it before, but this is the first time I finally understand what it means. Thanks for the info, it’s quite useful for someone not familiar with the whole concept.
