Wikis

We've talked about weblogs. But what's a wiki? In the current issue of Darwin, Stowe Boyd provides a brief introduction and explains why wikis may emerge as an important vehicle for organizational communication.
Faster than a speeding blog, more collaborative than a powerful intranet — they can't quite leap tall buildings in a single bound, but Wikis can enable bottom-up socialization. ... Wikis are based on emergent intelligence and knowledge: the belief that the best results come from allowing decisions to emerge bottom-up, in a relatively free-form interchange between the participants of a group, with only a light-handed editorial or managerial top-down control being applied.
