In your web-escapades, have you ever wished there was a place where you could share information with other internet users, in a big melting pot of editable-if-you-have-an-acount knowledge? If so, you're in luck, because there is a tool out there for you! (Wikis.)
Wikis are websites that are used as these information melting pots. These sites are used to gather and organize knowledge from as many sources as there are that which to contribute! And not only can you make original posts, but you can edit the posts of others! Wikis are all about collaboration!
However, in a recent experience with a Wiki, pbworks.com, I was completely dissuaded from an attempt at editing an article. First, I could not find the incredibly elusive "Sign Up" button. After several minutes of searching high and low for a way to create an account, I was finally successful. However, after that, the option to edit the article was working improperly, and in spite of multiple attempts to make the edit, I was unsuccessful. (An annoying empty white bubble kept popping up, with nothing useful in it whatsoever.)
However, this was simply a bad experience of mine. You may have wonderful experiences with Wikis, if only you try this tool out! Add it to your belt. You know you want to.
