Week 7: Collaboration

There are all kinds of wikis, sites which allow others to edit the content of the sites. An example is Foodista.com, an encyclopedia of culinary information. Probably the best known of the wikis is Wikipedia.

I found a site, last updated in 2005, by Darlene Fichter of the University of Saskatchewan which explored wikis and libraries. One of its links was to Writely. Google purchased Writely in the spring of 2006 and renamed it Google Documents (Google Docs.) Today, this site allows one to create, share, and collaborate online.
