WHY A WIKI AND NOT FACEBOOK, LINKED IN or other software?
Actually is being used by Wisconsin 4-H!
Different types of software and internet experience have there own positives and negatives.
For collecting history and colloboration wiki software is unique.
Let’s at each software a bit…
WHY NOT FACEBOOK ?Facebook is:• good at checking status, pokes, chat• difficult for looking up older content– things get buried–where is the Facebook archive?
• content owner & users must register• not good with privacy & security issues.• not good with indexed content.
WHY NOT Linked ?
• LinkedIn has some similarity to Facebook which brings similar disadvantages such as:– users must register with Linked In– not great with indexed content
• LinkedIn is frequently associated with searches for jobs and networking with others in related industries or types of work.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER WIDELY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE?
• You ? Great for sharing video but not for sharing text and communication.
• Flickr? Great for sharing photos, but not quite right for what the wiki can do.
• A blog? – best suited to a single narrator & commenters, but not many contributors.
• A website?- not enough tools for collaboration.
