Microblogging is a form of social media where posts are extremely short. Currently, the most popular microblogging platform is [http://www.twitter.com Twitter], although there are other options available such as [http://www.tumblr.com Tumblr], and [http://http://www.plurk.com/ Plurk]. Some consider microblogging random "short bursts of text", however it is better to think of it as a group of short conversations. Users are able to converse back and forth with one another, as well as grouping content by the use of hashtags. <ref>Justin Herman, [http://www.howto.gov/social-media/microblogging Microblogging], April 18, 2013, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref> | Microblogging is a form of social media where posts are extremely short.

[[Wiki]] sites are [[web applications]] whose content is collaboratively added, deleted, updated, modified, and organized by its users.<ref>[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc700339.aspx, "Easy Wiki Hosting, Scott Hanselman's blog, and Snagging Screens" Online. April 15, 2014.]</ref> Wiki promotes a democratic use of the Web, encompasses general knowledge, and produces a shared knowledge base. Wiki provides any user with access to the Internet an opportunity of author and editor privileges.<ref>[https://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/eli7004.pdf , "7 Things you Should Know About Wikis" Online. April 22, 2014.]</ref> While wiki sites are established collaboratively by a community of users no content is owned by the authors. Wiki writings have an objective style and use an impersonal, formal, and dispassionate tone.<ref>[https://medium.com/p/66d288cebab4, "Writing on a Wiki" Online. April 18, 2014.]</ref> One of the most commonly visited wiki pages is the encyclopedia project [[Wikipedia]], but there are multiple sites running different types of [[wiki software]]. <ref>[http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TopTenWikiEngines, "Top Ten Wiki Engines" Online. April 18, 2014.]</ref> Wiki supports [[hyperlinks]] and has simple text syntax for producing new pages and crosslinks between internal pages.<ref>[http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki , "What is Wiki?"
