Wiki Postwrite

Having no idea that Wikitravel existed I was unsure of how I was going to go about being successful by providing information to others.  With no prior experience of adding to a website I was able to learn how to make things work. After looking over the site and exploring, I found that it was easy to use.

In Nardi and Oday's explanation of coevolution they said, "Information ecologies are filled with people who learn and adapt and create." After using Wikitravel I found that coevolution can directly apply to the site. Wikitravel allows all of these things to happen. I was able to create a page for my own town.  This allowed me to explore the wikitravel site more in depth.  I was able to navigate the site easier and utilize certain tools to perfect the page.  I had to learn how to create this page in the correct format provided and keep it professional.  This website is not isolated it allows anyone to contribute to the pages they choose. I enjoyed using this site it allowed me to explore a different type of online writing. 

Not only did I successfully create a page but I was able to contribute and edit others.  Here we see that this information ecology allows updates to pages to occur immediately.  This website allows many users to update or edit what other users have posted.  The inaccurate information will be recognized by others who will re-edit the information to make sure it is correct.  This is the beauty of the internet it is constantly changing and keeps us on our toes.  Wikitravel is a site that will be changed constantly by their users.  People gain knowledge everyday and are willing to contribute and be a part of this ever changing technology, the internet.
