Subject: WIKI = "What I Know Is" [sc!]
A wiki (sometimes spelled "Wiki"- comes from the word "wikiwiki," which
means "fast" in the Hawaiian language ") is a software program that resides
on a server. This software allows users to collaborate in forming the
content of a Web site. By using a regular Web browser, any user can edit
content within the wiki, including other users' contributions.
By virtue of the fact that wiki content is open to manipulation by any user,
a wiki Web site must operate on a principle of collaborative trust. It also
must operate on the assumption that anyone who provides content to the wiki
has validated that their content is factual.
A wiki allows a visitor to the "wikified" Web site to edit the content of
the site from their own computer. Visitors can also create new content and
change the organization of existing content. The simplest wiki programs
allow editing of text and hyperlinks only. More advanced wikis make it
possible to add or change images, tables, and certain interactive components
such as games.

ReplyDeleteWhat is a wiki site?
ReplyDeleteWikiwiki means quick in Hawaiian. A wiki site is a Web site in which users
can easily edit any page. The site grows organically by linking existing
pages together or by creating links to new pages. If a user finds a link to
an uncreated page, he or she can follow the link and create the page.
Wiki is also a backronym that stands for, "what I know is..." In business
environments, a wiki site provides a low-maintenance way to record
knowledge. Information that is usually traded in e-mail messages, gleaned
from hallway conversations, or written on paper can instead be recorded in a
wiki site, in context with similar knowledge.
Other example uses of wiki sites include brainstorming ideas, collaborating
on designs, creating an instruction guide, gathering data from the field,
tracking call center knowledge, and building an encyclopedia of knowledge.
Subject: Blog vs. wiki? RE: backronym=WIKI = "What I Know Is" [sc!]
ReplyDeleteImportance: Low
Blog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website, usually maintained by an
individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or
other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in
reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to
maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others
function as more personal online diaries
Wiki wins vs Blog, but loses against Godzilla ; ties against mothra
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't depend...it's a fact because it's in quotes

Subject: "b("")x" vs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_vs._Mothra
ReplyDeleteWe might as well think inside the Hbnc "b("")x" if we're going to limit our
acceptance of facts to the words embedded in quotes...
"Mothra has regained enough strength to fight again, and she charges
Godzilla. Godzilla manages to push her away, but she quickly comes back.
This time, however, she tries a different approach. She uses a paralyzing
spore attack to immobilize Godzilla"
Oh...pardon me...it's only valid if followed by SIC. And mothra was a girl
