Web 2.0 - Blogs, Wikis, and Del.icio.us

Wiki means fast in Hawaiian

A wiki is a collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone with access to it.

Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as the simplest online database that could possibly work.

One of the best-known wikis is Wikipedia.

Blog is a shortened form of weblog.

A blog is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order.

Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

In May 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 71 million blogs.
