A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. Wikispaces then, is built to work anywhere, anytime. All you need is a web browser and an Internet connection. Members can create pages and spaces without undue restrictions or rules. Guests can edit pages without creating an account. Wiki pages are fully internationalized, so you can contribute content in any language you like. Wikispaces gives groups the freedom to publish pages that are long-lived, regularly updated, and built by many contributors. It gives you the space to both publish and discuss content, without tangling the two together. Wikispaces is designed to be usable for everyone. A visual editor is utilized to let you see the layout and design of your page while you're editing it. No technical knowledge is required. And Wikispaces is fast even in large communities with lots of activity.

This site is a great place to start using wikis. Wikis allow you to post information and collaborate with others on topics. By allowing others to see the wiki you have created, they have the opportunity to edit the information and add to it. This would be a great way to work with others via the internet. This site allows for a lot of possibilities.
