29. Wikis & Bulletin Boards: An Analogy A wiki is a website version of a community bulletin board. Both are places where anyone within a community is free to publicly post announcements, ads, ideas, and/or solicitations. The main difference is that wikis allow the items that are posted to be edited, reworked, and remixed.

30. Wikis & Bulletin Boards: An Analogy (cont.) Imagine that you are looking at a community bulletin board. What if you could digitally edit a misspelled want-ad, or add artwork, music or other types of files to a concert flyer to make it more useful or aesthetically pleasing? Finally, what if your bulletin board could be viewed not only by local residents, but by the whole world…? That would be a wiki.
