For the uninitiated, Wiki is a website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. The term wiki also can refer to collaborative software.

Wetpaint is an example of a good Wiki system. Wetpaint allows you to create, add and modify content at the go. Since the interface is simple, getting to use wetpaint is not tough. Once you sign up for the service, which is free and ad supported, you can start creating wiki’s or documents. Editing has been made simple with efficient use of Ajax. You can set privileges where everyone, wetpaint members or people whom you invite can only edit the pages created by you. Wetpaint does incorporate the best aspects of wikis, blogs, forums and social networks so anyone can click and type on the web.

The advantage is that once you create a wiki you can choose to share it so that like minded people can add and modify the content. Though there are some rough edges with wetpaint overall the usability and the interface of the website is excellent. s compared to other wiki’s wetpaint is much faster and is cross browser compatable. Editing is intuitive and intentionally similar to Microsoft Word which makes it very easy for a new user to use wetpaint. There is a system for commenting the work done on a wiki and further to get your creations a higher ranking on the search engines it creates site maps automatically.

There are some disadvantages as well. Tables are not easy to manipulate in wetpaint and it is only available as a hosted environment. It is also not possible to attach files which can be irritating. Other than these the application is a very good one and has great potential.
