Wikipedia, WikiNews, are just a few ways information is shared on Wikis. Teachers and students communicate about assignments, share interests, and solve problems using this tool. Employers and employees collaborate on projects together; while friends plan trips they will take together. Others share favorite recipes or books reviews. Fan clubs and hobbyists inform us about little know facts. We learn things we may never have known.
I was most amazed by a Wiki News story that took place over a year ago. It was started during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. It began as a storm indicator and later became a locater for missing family members; a map of flooded and blocked streets. This Wiki became THE, on the ground eyes /ears for people all over the world.
What an awesome form of expression a Wiki can take!
