MediaWiki - Social Media Application A Wiki is an internet software on which users collaborate on writing documentation and articles in a virtual environment. The result of this collaboration turns the Wiki into a useful knowledge repository for everybody to benefit from.

Research, Development, and Marketing teams use Wikis to build knowledge repositories about their products, services, and day-to-day operation protocols. A Wiki is especially useful for maintaining the knowledge within a company when employees leave an organization, because the new employees can use the same Wiki as a reference and educational tool about the organization's day-to-day operation. 

In this environment, users also collaborate on correcting and editing each other's mistakes to improve the quality of overall stored information over time. The most famous Wiki on the web is Wikipedia.org where millions of users around the globe have contributed content and information to make the world's largest user generated encylopedia of all time.

 

Keep the information fresh and tidy at all times

Documents written in a word processor become forgotten historical artifacts in a company, but information on a Wiki is constantly updated and maintained over time by people within an organization.  A Wiki helps the information stay fluid and organic at all times; meaning that content is constantly refined, groomed, and updated all in one place by a group of people.
