Here is a list of the most popluar wikis:
- Wikispaces is a commercial service which offers public or private wikis. Basic wikis are free of charge, but wikis with more advanced features incur a small fee. They are currently offering advanced feature wikis free of charge if they are to be used exclusively in Higher Education.
- PBworks is another commercial service which offers wikis with basic features free of charge, and wikis with more advanced features for a fee.
- Wetpaint combines the elements of blogs, forums, social networks and wikis.
- Wikidot is a web application service that can look like a traditional wiki, a forum, or a blog. A combination of forums, wiki pages, templates and add-in packages can be used to create collaborative web projects. Like PBworks and Wikispaces, basic wikis are free of charge, but there is a charge for wikis with more advanced features.
