   In its All Things Considered program lat month, NPR broadcast a
*Most Excellent* Commentary by
David Weinberger [http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/index.html ] on
-WIKIs-

July 21, 2003

It might sound a little crazy, letting just anyone write whatever they
want on your Web site. But that's just what Wikis are designed for.
Wikipedia.org, for example, lets the public collaborate to build a
surprisingly accurate encyclopedia. Commentator David Weinberger says
wikis are one example of "social software," intended to allow people to
work together with ease.

This is Well-Worth The Listen!

Enjoy!
