The question is, why arn't domainers going crazy over wiki domains? If blooks and wii made a stur, why not wikis? (or did I miss something).

Perhaps wiki is not a new thing. Blooks and Wii are new when compare with wiki.

I saw recently there are some sales on wiki domains like dogwiki.com(sold for $500) etc. I think it will become hotter and hotter!

No idea but I heard Will Smith was thinking of registering wahwahwikiwikiwikkiwahwah.com

Thanks for the heads-up, worldstar. I have DogsWiki, GirlsWiki, CarsWiki, RecipesWiki, JokesWiki and a few others. I sold Dating Wiki last month. Had an offer for YogaWiki but the buyer flaked. They should have grabbed it than, because I've, since, doubled the prices on all of my wiki names and they'll double again when I get around to developing a couple.

What is wiki?
Wiki is in Ward's original description:
The simplest online database that could possibly work.

Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.

Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.

Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.
