A wiki is like a blog that can be changed by anyone. The purpose of wiki's is to share knowlegde. People use them when they need information on something, or if they have something to add. You use them by editing and saving anything you have to add to the info already there.

I think a Wiki is used for people to organize things. Anyone who needs to organize trips or other things can use it. They are used when someone wants to organize a vacation and you use them by pressing edit and save. They are different from blogs because blogs are a place where there is information about other people and Wikis are used to organize things

Scott said...

I think a Wiki is an organizer where people can add or organize the content within the site. Companies could use these wiki's. They would use a Wiki when they would be doing a budget or stock on an inventory. A Wiki compared to a Blog is not the same cause a blog is a webpage where someone can state information and update the info for others to read.

The purpose of wiki is to better communicate through computers. It is more organized and it hepls you plan what you need, have, want. All sorts of people use wiki's. They are useful when someone needs help planning what they need for a camping trip for example. You use it by typing in all the items you would need, then as you started to accumulate those things you would put it under things that you have and you would save it. If you needed to find a location you would type in location, highlight it, then press link. I don't know how wiki's are similar to blogs but I think they are different because they are more organized and the have more uses than a blog

I think the purpose of wikis is for organizing things or helping other people. Lots of people use them for doing school projects, organizing trips or helping people with questions. They are used almost everyday by one person starting a wiki and other people editing and saving it.

The purpose of a wiki is to organize certain things like events without using e-mail. Others can edit the wiki page. People who are organizing things like camping trips use a wiki. You create a wiki account and you edit the page, add your information, and click "Save". Then, others can edit that information, or even add a link. A blog is news or information that people comment on, and a wiki is you can add information, and others can edit it.

Wiki's are used to send messages, ask questions and do other things without sending e-mail. Everybody can use wikis and they can use them whenever they want. They are used by someone starting one and then other people add on.

Wiki's are used for people to communicated and plan things. Wiki's can be used by anyone. Wiki's are used by anyone at anytimemthey are needed. Wiki's are used by one person posting something and other people can than edit it and add or take away information. Blogs are different than Wiki's because Wiki;s allow another user to change the post as on Blogs you cant change it.

Dominick said...

Wiki's are an organized way for friends and people to communicate with each other. They can post information and change it as they see fit. It is more organized than email because all the people in the group have access to it not just two people.

The purpose of wikis is to comunicate without e mail and without complication. People who like to comunicate without e mail I guess like to use wikis. In the video wikis look very easy to use all you do is edit save or link. wikis are kind of similar to blogs because there both on a webpage and can be edited when ever plus people leave information or comments.

A wiki is not an email it is better then an email. it allows only your certan people that you want to be in the lobby.

Bowmanm said...

a wiki is used to have information submitted by people editable by others.Anyone can use a wiki and they are used all the time. they are like blogs in the sense that you are sending information

A wiki is used to coodinate events between a group of people that are not in the say room as one another. Anyone with a computer and basic knowledge of how to use computers can use this program. They can be used at whatever time you need it. It is used by you go to the web page and once you are on the proper web page you can view it and if you choose to change some information on it you click edit and once you are finished wrighting on it you click save. Once you click save the other people in the group can view it and make there own changes. Wikis and blogs are different because on a blog you can not edit someone else's post you have to make your own post. On a wiki you can edit someone else's post and add more information to it. THE END :)

Ashley L said...

I think the purpose of Wiki's is that if you don't want to send emails back and forth, anyone can use this program. They are used at anytime, they are used for organizing information if you are trying to do something with other people instead of sending emails.

krugerm said...

The purpose of a wiki is for multiple people to put there thoughts and change other people's imput. Everyone can use a wiki. They can be used to share ideas and to interact with multiple people.In a wiki other people can change your writing in a blog you cannot

Amy S said...

I think the purpose of a wiki is to help keep your information in line and in order. Any one can use a wiki to search things or to keep thing they want to organized.

mason b said...

A wiki is a little bit different then email. it can be veiwed by any one and changed by anyone and isnt sent to a certaint individual

Dalton said...

The purpose of a wiki is to make list or coversations with multiple people with out using a email. You can also use wiki's to talk about what homework sheets are etc,.You can use wiki's for whatever you want.

Kenton D said...

A Wiki is a website that allows groups of people to talk or plan an activity or other event. Anyone can use a Wiki. Wikis are used when groups of people want an easier way to talk, rather than emails. You use a Wiki by creating a group of people, and then create a page of writing, then all you have to do is let all the people in your group edit, and save the information, until the final copy is complete and everyone can see it.

Tanner P said...

A wiki is a website that allows users to add and update content on the site using their own web browser. You use wiki software that runs on the web. Someone that is planning a trip or that need to share with a group of people. You use them by editing information that other people posted on there wiki. The differnce between a blog and wiki is that a wiki u can edit other peoples information and on a blog you cant edit information that other people have posted.

Jake G. said...

A Wiki is not the best way to gain information because anyone can just come and edit your page. On the upside they are easy and a good way to spread information between people.

glenn said...

A Wiki is like a blog but it shows everyone who goes on it what you posted. It's almost the exact same as a blog except for the fact that on a wiki, you can change what people post and on a blog,you can't. Everyone in the world can use and see your post on your wiki and everyone can use a wiki. Wiki's are used to maybe help people with ideas of what to bring for trips or what to use to make something. People help the person who posted the wiki to tell them what else they need.

jesse g said...

I think a wiki is a website that people can communicate with others for trips and stuff like that. It is different from blogging beacuse when blogging you can not edit someone elses blog and on wiki you can edit and add new stuff to the site that someone else has made.

KyleF said...

A Wiki is a site that can sometimes be useful, sometimes,it can be used between friends making plans and stuff, it can be used by everybody. You can also edit what is pasted, so what you put on can be viewed by ohters, and can be added on.

Shelby P said...

A wiki is a blog that can be edited. Everybody can change it but it helps if you have to email everybody, you just wiki it. A wiki is created and will have three buttons, edit,save, and link. Someone can create a research or a list and then others can correct it or add to it. Many times there are people who make mistakes on it purposefully or by accident and so wikis are not depended on. Compared to a blog a wiki is generally the same thing, but it can be changed.A wiki is great for making lists.

RyleyP said...

A wiki is kind of like a blog but the main difference is you change things and comments on a wiki but you cannot in a blog.A wiki is used for anything really between 2 or more people. You can create lists on stuff you need for some kind of trip or you could even make a RSVP page for a wedding or something like that. Anybody can use a wiki and all you do is edit, send and link.

kolt k said...

wikis are an easier way to communicat with others without using e mails. anyone can use wikis if they are smart and dont want the trouble that emails bring. they are used when more than 2 people need to interact with eachother in the same conversation.

Tynneal said...

The purpose of a wiki is its easier to communicate instead of e-mails and you can edit what other people publish. You just have to edit it, write what you want and then save it. Wikis are different from blogs because they can be edited and changed, where as blogs cant they can only be published.

Freedom E said...

A wiki is a web site where you can see information and edit it. ex. if your going camping you could make a wiki and put what you have and what you need then the group you are camping with could see and edit the information. The purpose of wikis is so that you are organized and so you can stay up to date with your friends and family. Anyone can use wiki. It could be used for work, vacations, school, etc. To use wiki, you have to create a wiki account then you can share information.

RebeccaC said...

The purpose of wiki is that it is easier to use then anyother wed site, I would say that everyone can use wiki because it is easy to use and people wouldnt have such a hard time if they used wiki. Wiki is used when say you and your friends are going on camping a trip you could use for that to make it easier for you guys to use it, you use it by pressing edit and then save and then one of your other friends can edit and so on.Wikis are compared to blogs because they are very similar.

Kennedy e said...

A wiki is a online planner that anyone can use. You type in what you want, than ANYONE can change it. This is very helpful and is very organized. This is better than a blog because you can add what you need and everyone can see it. Wikis are easy to use and works great with a group. But, you have to be careful what you read because it may be false information.

sherwoodt said...

a Wiki is a place htat people can look chance and save there comments or look change your comments. the hole world can look and change you comments. it is a place where people cant talk about any thing.

Marcus said...

A wiki is a website that gives out information on different things. It is helpful with getting information on whatever you are searching but sometimes not all the information is true. Anybody can use a Wiki and it is better than using emails because the emails can not all be in tha same order.

GavinT said...

Wikis are just an editable website so that you can communicate clearly without tons of e-mails. The difference between blogs and wikis are a wiki is one editable website and a blog is a bunch of posts.which do you prefer Mrs.McBride, blogs or wikis.

stacey l said...

The purpose of wikis is that it gives out information about different things, anyone can use wikis, it is used whenever someone would like to use it and you can use it by pressing edit then write what you want then press save. wikis compares to a blog because you can comonicate with people.

LoganD said...

the purpose of wiki is for your messages not to get scrambled up anyone can use wikis.

Janeen D said...

A wikki is a place where you can make lists and share them with your friends, you can change them up and it doesnt matter who does. everyone can use wikis if they know how, and they can learn how. They can be used anytime and thier porpose is to share comments with your friends or make lists and your friends can change them or write back you just have to click edit then save and thier is also a link button that you can make links on. A wikiis very different from a blog because anyone can change a wiki but noone can change a blog, so thats what i think about wikis l8tr.

Allyssa A. said...

The purpose of the wikis is to be able to chat and plan with your friends and family. Everyone can use wiki's at anytime.
