                                           What are Wikis, Why we use them? 


      'Wiki' is one of the most widespread slogans on the Internet, same as  ‘cloud' and 'receptive proposal'. I first heard the word; I thought it was related to Wikipedia. The word “wiki” come from Hawaiian language and it means quick. The most important aspect of wikis is the combined editing done by users. So let’s go for an adventure and find the benefits that wiki can provide to a company, issues that can get fix, reason why we will want to use it, and can we set up out own wiki page. Let’s keep on moving. Let’s go back in time to get a better explanation. Ward Cunningham was the father of wiki.  He build them on 1990.We him and his colleagues started the project, they didn’t know what they were good for, but they sure know it was fun to work with them and develop them as well. In other words, the main concepts of wikis are creating, reviewing, hyperlink, cooperating, interactive. If you pay attention to what I wrote, you would notice that they are all verbs. That’s what wikis do. At their main, wikis are structure organisms. They're doing their best to make the process of writing a webpage as easy as possible. This is a unique characteristic of wikis in comparison to your typical website.
