"Business Solutions: Togetherness, Wiki Style" - Wall Street Journal (01/12/04), p. R4; Michael Totty- Businesses interested in having workers across the globe work more closely despite their separation should consider wikis, which are Web pages that can be altered by anyone with access. Wikis allow a company's contractors and employees to share ideas, intelligence, and track projects as employees add, delete, and change online material without using programming language or obtaining permission from a Web master.
