Wiki-Wiki-Wee

Ever heard of Wiki webpages? The concept is basically a webpage that anyone can edit, rather than just the owners of the website. It sounds like a recipe for chaos, but it actually works pretty well. Case in point is the Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia created by...well, everyone. I looked up an article in it and discovered there was an error. One of the paragraphs had been copied twice. My first thought was, "Bummer, that looks lame." Then I remembered the power of wiki. So I hit the button marked "Edit this page," deleted the extra paragraph, and saved it. Then I took a moment to savor the power. Check it out, it's cool.
