Well known Wikis
- Social Networking Sites
- Social Networking Sites have become an important part of our social fabric underpinning our freedom of speech and becoming a vital part of making the man (or woman) on the street's voices heared in the rising hubbub of big business and government.
- The 'Arab Spring' and other great social movements have been organised in part over social networks.
- Well known Social Networking sites include Facebook, Twitter, uTube etc.
- Information Wiki Sites
- Information Wikis such as Wikipedia and Wikileaks put huge quantities of information in the public domain and make sensorship largely ineffective.
- The downside on Information Wikis is that the 'information' offered may indeed be misinformation.
- Content Management Systems (CMS)
- Content Management Systems are an extension of the Wiki concept making it possible for anyone to set up a Wiki site of their own.
Features of Wiki Sites
Wiki sites are individual and part of the chaos of intellectual freedom that is the Internet. However common features include
- Advanced software allowing anyone to contribute without the need to understand Computer Languages or Jargon.
- A structure of membership allowing contributers to tell other members something of their life and times.
- Levels of information - in our case Articles, Comments, Forum Items and Blogs - to oganise the site.
