Which Wiki is Right for You?
This article talked about the different three different types of wikis. One wiki was called the PBwiki, another was the wikispaces, and the last one was called wetpaint. Each one of these wikis has a free version and also a version one has to pay for. Depending on how much space someone wants, or if they want an advertisement free wiki is how they base how much if at all one pays for a wiki. For example the more space someone wants than they more their wiki will cost. The free versions of these wikis were generally 2GB. Wetpaint is the only one of the three that is totally free of cost, and has unlimited space access.
The PBwiki stands for the "peanut butter wiki" because it is suppose to be as easy as making a peanut butter sandwhich. For this reason the PBwiki is most commonly used by educators. Its easy access and ability to use makes its time consuming very limited, and teachers don't generally have a lot of free time. This wiki uses wiki text like WYSIWYG (what- you- see- is -what - you- get), this language reminds me some of texting lingo.
when creating these wikis it is an easy process, and only takes a few steps. First the creator has to name the wiki, then provide a wiki creator's name, and lastly provide a wiki password.
If i were to choose one of these wiki's to use for my classroom, or collaboration i would choose PBwiki. Mostly because of how easy it is to set up, and maintain and add to.
