Which Wiki is Right for You?
http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6438167.html?q=which+wiki
School Library Journal has a nice article discussing the advantages and disadvantages of three popular free wikis: pbwiki, Wikispaces, and Wetpaint. There are several other free wiki programs, but these seem to be the easiest to set up and maintain.
Just to give you a visual of what these wikis look like, I've created Learning LibTech wikis for these three. I have purposely not done any editing, so you can see what you get when you first create it.
pbwiki

I like pbwiki because it is *easy* and they do not own your content. You can also choose to have a private wiki (not seen by the public) for free.
Wikispaces
http://learninglibtech.wikispaces.com/
Wikispaces is actually my personal favorite so far. I like the page layout and functions - they just seem to fit my head the best, and creating one is very easy. The problem is that a private wiki costs money, which is fine if you want a public wiki, but if you want a private one for whatever reason, you have to pay or pick another wiki...unless you are an educator - http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers
Wetpaint

Wetpaint wikis are just beautiful and have many functionalities. I think the only complaint I have heard so far is that server response when editing them can be slow sometimes.
