Wiki Review


        The wetpaintcentral.com is an avarage site on the terms of otlook as it doesn't look so attracting. But that's not the same with it contents because it will help the students and teachers in so many ways. For example, it has a bar that includes Home, Discussion, Photo, Video, News, Update and Member part on top of the site. So once you’re signed in the site for free, you can start using these advantages. The second thing that attracts my attention at the first sight is “easy edit” option because we can change what we have wrotten on our post anytime, anyplace in the way we want it to be. And maybe the most distinctive feature of this wiki from any other wiki is that it allows you to choose who can edit pages. Everyone, even anonymously; anyone who joins our site; or only the writers can have this authority. But this is not the situation in wikispaces.com or pbworks.com. Also, we can adjust the style for our site among a lot of themes. And yet even this feature is so old-fashioned and ordinary. I prefer the wikispaces on these subjects because it has caught up with the new technological improvements from all the perspectives. Anyway, let me go on with wetpaintcentral.com. At the below part of the site, there are some threads for the page and we can also see the information about it like the author, thread subject, replies and last post date. The authors can add some attachments that they have benefited. But not all the attachments are allowed to be seen at the first sight so as to block the mess of the page, so the limited number is only five attachments, and yet you can see all of them in one click. We can even vote the thread whether it is valuable or not. All we have to do is to answer the question of Ye sor No. Also, we can share the thread on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, StumbleUpon etc. Then I’m attracted to the left side of the wiki. Here is the place where we put our pages in headlines. When we click them the subheads appear. For example, I open the Higher-Ed Wikis on the site I'm using and what meets me is Teaching Tips for College Profs, Math Ed and Technological & Virtual Teams. Even these subheads have many other subheads. So it’s just like a big library - a technological library. That's all...
