<a name="Wikis" id="Wikis"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Wikis</span></h2>
<p>A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki">Definition from Wikipedia</a>
</p>
<a name="Example_Wikis_in_Extension" id="Example_Wikis_in_Extension"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Example Wikis in Extension</span></h3>
<p>Ken Balliet (kballiet@psu.edu) in Pennsylvania is using a wiki to collaborate with stakeholders in the Natural Gas Exploration and Leasing Program. The wiki has grown quickly to include a linked community forum for effective Q & A. <a href="http://naturalgaslease.pbwiki.com" class="external free" title="http://naturalgaslease.pbwiki.com">http://naturalgaslease.pbwiki.com</a>
</p><p>Ken also plans to do a monthly "talkcast" using talkshoe.com that will allow extension offices and individual landowners to "call in" via computer or phone to ask questions of experts.Each session will be recorded and available as a podcast.
</p><p>Also Ken has mentored 4-H Educators in several counties who are using wikis with Teen Councils AND their summer Camp. The wiki serves as an on-going report (blog) for the camp directors AND a vital communications link to parents in the event of a weather emergency.

<a name="Social_bookmarking" id="Social_bookmarking"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Social bookmarking</span></h2>
<p>Save your bookmarks online. Access them from any web-connected computer, not just the one you used to save the bookmark. Add annotations and (optionally) share bookmarks with colleagues or others. This is also an easy way to create an RSS feed to display on other sites (e.g. you find a news story, give it your unique tag, and it then appears on a customized news feed).

<p>Build online communities around a team, group, or shared interest. Core elements involve building a profile, forming groups and selectively agreeing to permit others to interact with you (be "friends") and become a member of your group. Supported tools also often include email, polling, providing short, frequent updates on current activities, etc.
