Word of the Day: Wiki
Photo credit: gracey from morguefile.com
I wouldn’t exactly call today’s word fun or interesting, but it’s worth pointing out the origin of this neologism. The term “wiki” is a noun, representing websites that let visitors make corrections, additions and new contributions. Like, of course, Wikipedia.
The first technology related reference to “wiki” is from 1995 and Ward Cunningham’s software WikiWikiWeb. Wiki sites use this software to let users alter the pages. Wiki is also a Hawaiian word, meaning “quick.”
Aloha.
