These platforms facilitate conversation. Conversation leads to relationships and relationships lead to affinity.” -David Armano By David Armano, author of the blog Logic+Emotion

Anyone can add to or edit pages in a wiki -- it is completely egalitarian. Anyone can create new wiki pages simply by creating a new link with the name of the page. Pages are connected not hierarchically, but by hyperlinks between pages.
