Today, wikis are common stops on the information

superhighway; however, they only date to 1995, after computer


programmer Ward Cunningham introduced his software
WikiWikiWeb to the world. The software, whose name is based
on a Hawaiian term for "quick," allows website visitors to
contribute content to its pages and comment on and make
changes to information posted by others. A site using the
software is referred to as a wiki.
