#14 What's a Wiki?

A wiki is a posting that may be edited by everyone and anyone. They do not need to be registered to the site to be able to edit the posting that has been put up by other people. It is very interesting for people to be able to share there knowledge with other people so easily without even having to know HTML coding. This same type of programs can be used in libraries, as a summary guide or as a rating on different book that may be in the library so that people may be able to go by the ratings of other people as a guide to finding the books that are good for them. It could also be used for people to leave suggestions such as "If you liked this book you should try reading..." or "Look out for the sequel which has just come out recently it's called..."
