Wikis

Posted on Oct 11 in Tech Stuffby ApplePrint

Now, almost everywhere you can see information presented in the “wiki” form. It’s part of the Web 2.0. Which means, it’s become a trend in the Web community. There are more and more sites having their own Wiki sites which allow the community the edit and share information on specific topics. I believe that most of us know about Wikipedia which comes in 10 different languages.

There are several wiki projects other than Wikipedia, which are operated by Wikimedia Foundation. I found that the following wiki projects are quite handy:

• WikiBooks – a free collection of open-contents textbooks. You can find cookbooks here too!
• WikiQuote – find your favorite quotes from movies, famous people, etc… Including Johnny Depp’s.
• WikiSpecies – know more about life. Might be handy for Biology students.
• Wikitionary – definitely an alternative for Dictionary.com

Other than those operated by Wikimedia Foundation, you can get more from the list of Wikis. Before looking through the list, let me recommend a few Wikis from the list:

LyricWiki.org is a lyric database. Now you can search for the lyrics of your favorite songs. You can even search for lyrics in different languages. Kinda cool…

Wookiepedia – The Star Wars Wiki. This should be nice for Star Wars fans.

Uncyclopedia is a satirical parody of Wikipedia. Humorous articles can be found here and of course most of the time they are sarcastic.

Do you own a Wiki? Or do you like to share any other interesting Wikis? Please leave the URL in the comment.
