“Automated Web Surfing”
When people ask me what RSS is, I say it's automated web surfing. We took something lots of people do, visiting sites looking for new stuff, and automated it. It's a very predictable thing, that's what computers do -- automate repetitive things.Dave Winer

Wikis
Wiki: “…a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. The term Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website…. The name is based on the Hawaiian term wiki wiki, meaning ‘quick’ or ‘informal’….
The Portland Pattern Repository was the first wiki, established by Ward Cunningham on March 25, 1995. He invented the wiki name and concept, and implemented the first wiki engine.”
