The use of a wiki website allows clients, vendors, corporate programmers, and business

colleagues to all communicate and enter data onto a group database. Uses for this in the business

world are limitless. Users do not need to know, or even understand, HTML to participate in a

wiki page (2006 p2), which encourages many timid users who have valid and useful information

to share, but don’t have the computer architect knowledge that traditional websites require

for editing.

   Another attraction of wiki systems is the anonymity. Many sites using a wiki allow the

public to access and contribute without a formal registering process (2006 p2). This is the

layman’s opportunity to update information that he or she is knowledgeable or passionate

about and remain anonymous.

   Many groups, from Fortune 500 power companies to Bike Clubs, are learning how to

increase sales, membership and participation, with wiki websites developed by programs like

Jotspot (Jotspot). Jotspot is an online collaboration website that is developed and designed by

partner Tech companies such as Knowesys. (Knowesys) Knowesys can custom build an intranet

wiki for companies to communicate online and offline that will include all members of the

organization. Benefits of this type of website, rather than a traditional html design, are the speed

of setup and better communication and feedback from users because everyone has access.
