Audience+and+Genre+Wiki

**__Introduction: Audience and Genre__**
Web 2.0 boom within the social circles has truly transformed the world around us. Even though this is true we must keep in mind that when it comes to the process of obtaining and disseminating knowledge, this must also be evolved over time for verily this will only assist in the progress of human thought and capacity of actions. That being said it is important to look to collaborative wikis, a very revolutionary method of learning and propagating knowledge.

A collaborative wiki is an online platform where a group of individuals of certain area of expertise, or intermediate knowledge can share their wisdom on any topic. The range of topic can be vast and vary, however, it must be noted that a wiki should be targeted to an audience who would actually look for such information at such a location. For example this is the beginning of the evolution of knowledge. So not every field is on a web platform thus a doctor would not look through a web based wiki for any sort of information. However, a college student looking for help on MLA citations or guides to writings of different genres would certainly seek the assistance of a wiki.
