Wikis are very effective; it is something like collaborative writing that brings the community together to create a website. A wiki is an effective tool for mass collaborate writing. With wikis like Wikipedia, finding information now has been a step easier.
When using a wiki, one will find many advantages to it. For example, minimal training is needed for most of them have a search button and access to articles is free and easy. It is also useful for collaborative writing and can help to create a certain relationship of sharing and working as a team. Most importantly there is no hassle, no need to install anything to authorize HTML.
But there are still disadvantages of a wiki. A wiki might suffer from a lack of a strong leadership as most of them plainly collaborate their writings together. When there is a lack of consensus, the wiki becomes ineffective. When people collaborate their writings together, they might have infringed the copyright law or other legal issuses regarding collaborative content. When gaining momentum a wiki might be at a disadvantaged because it is difficult for them to do so. |
