Example:
I know that Wikipedia is a kind of wiki. People can add and change information to Wikipedia. Sometimes this information is correct and sometimes it is not. I need to be careful when using Wikipedia for school work.
A social networking web site is something that people can talk and communicate through, like myspace and facebook.
