Wiki Summary

The main points of the Wiki Presentation:

1. A wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages, is not a carefully created site, and invites all users to create and edit their own pages.

2. Ward Cunningham created the first wiki by creating the software the Hypercard stacks. This is a Mac software which allowed the users to build stacks on their own computers by linking information.  

3. Wikipedia is the largest wiki with 3.4 million articles while Britannica only has 500,000 articles.

4.  Other leading wiki services are Wikispaces, PB Works, Google Sites, and Media Wiki.

5. On Wikipedia the blue links are to pages that exist and the red links are links that have yet to be written.
