About+Wikis

Google Sites are Wikis, but Wikis aren't Google Sites! I didn't know this until this class! Sort of like a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. Sort of?

From my reading on the web about differences between the two, I do appreciate that larger files can be downloaded to the wiki. The overall storage capability on the Google sites appears however to be larger according to information I retrieved from teachr20.blogspot.com.

With the limited experience I have had with Google Sites and Wikis, I do prefer to use Google Sites largely because they are so linked to the many other Google applications I have begun using in my daily work. The wikis require an additional login, so I am finding that alone to make wikis less desirable for my work, but I do plan to continue to develop my Wikispace - I am always uneasy about ONE business making applications so easy and so great all in one spot. We may have less access to the incredible creativity of developers and new business ventures out there similar to what happened in small towns when Walmart marched in. Diversity all the way!
