How wikis are changing our view of the world

Quote:News is one of the most effective uses of an oddly named technology created in 1995 ...which was based on the idea that information should be shared openly and remain accountable to everyone. Known as "wiki," the software allows the creation of Web pages that can be edited indefinitely by anyone with access, regardless of who wrote the original work.

Although initially conceived as a form of communal publishing, the wiki is quickly evolving into a multipurpose interactive phenomenon...

This transparent history of every change is one of the most important features that distinguish wikis from other forms of instant updates and community, such as blogs, because wikis are seen as much more open-ended and participatory.
