What's a Wiki?.

A gentle introduction (except for the threat about the cattle prod): What's a Wiki? (via Michelle) "A wiki usually has a link at the bottom of the page that reads [base "]Edit text of this page[per thou]. Anyone can click that link and then instantly add, delete or change the text or structure of the page. Or they can create a new page of their own. No authoring tool, and usually no login or permission, is required."

Now you can use that technology to get a handle on what's happening at the iTunes Music Store, thanks to a nifty new Web application from Apple. [MacCentral]
