:::''For example, '''Facebook''' and '''Twitter''' are useful for posting messages and keeping in touch with friends and events,<br />but they lack the ability to '''create and collectively edit''' ideas and document content in a transparent manner''.
::'''Disconnection of Document Generation and Editing'''
::: Documents involving word-processing, spreadsheets, and slide-shows are mainly edited "off-line", which '''requires more work downloading and uploading files'''. Although they may be posted to web-pages, '''those documents are not real "living documents"''', instead they represent a "one-way flow" of information. Also, those '''documents usually become "out-of-date" very quiclyquickly, until those documents are downloaded, re-edited, saved, and uploaded'''.
::'''Inconsistent Perceptions'''
:::In my opinion, if I asked a random group of people '''what a WIKI was, eighty-five percent would respond, "What is a WIKI?"'''. On the other hand, if I asked that same group '''how many of them have used WikiPedia, eighty-five percent would respond, "Yes"'''. If I asked that same group '''how many people have added or edited content on a Wikepedia topic, <u>less than one tenth of one percent</u> would respond, "Yes"'''.
