 * What is a Wiki?**

A wiki is a collaboration tool that is often thought of in terms of a database because of its design. Blogs are also considered to be a content management system and the simplest on the web to use. The wiki is similar with one major exception, multiple people can edit the same page. This means that one single page of content could be the work of one person or of hundreds of people.

Wikis are a great collaboration tool because they pool the knowledge base of multiple people together to create a wealth of information into one collective piece of content. The page becomes the sum of the knowledge of all of the participants.
