Now many friends have their own blog page, although they may not want to go to the wood to write a personal diary of the way, but to highlight the personality, publicity of the purpose of the ego, mostly similar. In fact, at this time, many of China's technology fans have looked to the wiki.

After the network anti-Huang and Miko Mi, China's netizens have been familiar with the blog. As a new network concept, with the support of sophisticated technology, blog greatly reduce the difficulty of making the site. Now many friends have their own blog page, although they may not want to go to the wood to write a personal diary of the way, but to highlight the personality, publicity of the purpose of the ego, mostly similar. In fact, at this time, many of China's technology fans have looked to the wiki.

What is a wiki? Academic, this is a content of the creation, update, monitoring, review and file management are very free to open, while following a certain technical rules and culture of the website. In layman's parlance, this is a site that anyone can go up to add, modify, and delete pages. Sounds scary, doesn't it? What happens when someone changes the mess? How to promote yellow gambling drugs? Oh, you don't have a reason to worry. Well, if you have the conditions, please sign in en now. Wikipedia ORG (wikipedia, Wikipedia), you will find that you want to change which page is OK. Edit this page or edit this page these words, like a banner, are flying high on every wiki page. But do you dare to put a bit of sophistry or any other inappropriate content on that? I can't do it anyway, although I've always been a prank lover. As soon as I saw the wiki idea that was being preached on that page, I was immediately serious and the urge to do something for this place arose spontaneously. At that time, Chinese Wikipedia just opened, the structure listed on the homepage I do not agree, I turned over the "Encyclopedia of China", but also seriously meditation back to the university teachers taught the dictionary framework Planning class, the formal slightly fine-tuning the adjustment of the structure settings. But after two days I went up and looked again, and the structure changed again. It seems to have been adjusted again. Careful taste, more reasonable than I recall. Now this page, the architecture is more mature.

Then I added the video game category, because I was a hardcore player. When I yincuoyangcha, in the game manufacturer Sub class to add Wisdom Crown Company, the wrong one of Daewoo products to list up (not "Paladin" Oh, I can not be retarded to that extent). After two days think of this thing, regret Budie, immediately to change. But I found that I had been modified, and the whole piece was rewritten, much more beautifully written than I was.

Well, that's what a wiki looks like, a community that works together. Here, you can do bad things, but you won't do it. Although the wiki's technical architecture does not have a hierarchical set of permissions, it will not allow you to register and then lose your username and password, and will not record your IP.

Of course, the cognition between people is not the same. Therefore, wikis are not suitable to host some very controversial content, such as the Miko Mi view of a class. I think the most successful application of wikis so far is an encyclopedia. What is written in an encyclopedia is an objective and down-to-earth description of things, aimed at the popularization of knowledge rather than the confrontation of views. For example, the Chinese encyclopedia. Film volume "In the interpretation of the director is: The literary script to the screen to make it the film's main artist." Do you have a problem with that? A friend of mine has to think that the director is a big rascal, maybe it has his own reason, but this ... Does the encyclopedia fit?

The source spirit of the Internet gives the wiki the power: free, free, shared, or trustworthy. Since January 2001, the English Wikipedia has 187,340 entries (only 3,538 in Chinese). This growth rate cannot be said to be wiki (the word wiki comes from the Hawaiian dialect Wee Kee Wee Kee, meaning fast). According to a lot of friends who have contacted Wikipedia, the contents are not particularly useful--Microsoft's Encarta, which now has 6 CDs to fit. But in the long run, Microsoft, which is still quite powerful, must not be able to compete with the whole population. One feature of today's Wikipedia is the speed with which new words are reacted. such as Wi-Fi, MMS and other words, can be found here, Encarta inside will not have. Wikipedia's growth requires everyone's participation. It's going to be a long process. To join the wiki, all you have to do is take 10 minutes to get a sense of its unique syntax, and then add up what you know.

In addition to the encyclopedia, wikis have a number of successful examples of document creation and maintenance, team communication coordination, and backup of documents. Motorola's early use of wikis for in-house knowledge management has been fruitful; in Google, which is admired by many people, it also has a blog and wiki two systems, used for work logs and summaries, which are used for internal communication within the company.

Wiki and blog Although the same as online content production network technology, are simple to use, spend very low cost can maintain management; but from the Spirit temperament, blog is individual heroism, a person write, many people look. For readers, this is a passive process of receiving information. If you are dissatisfied with a certain point of view of your blog owner, you can only attach a few words to the comment. In a wiki, everyone is a viewer and a writer. Participation, or contribution, is particularly important here. Even if you do a good job, no one will know that the entry or the content is written by you, they will think that this is the wiki. If the blog developed, it can create a lot of heroes, but also to create a lot of tyrants, if the wiki developed, we are ushered in the knowledge of Communism.

But the symbiosis is the most perfect. Wikis are used for the popularization of old knowledge, and blogs are used to innovate new knowledge. Is it not a predictable revolution of knowledge that the hero is charged in front of the people, who supply the back?
