(Summaries: Freakonomics, Getting Things Done, …, see other bestsellers)<br/><br/>(7) WikiMapia - cool mashup between Google Maps and wiki-style editing. Lets you browse, view, search and add descriptive notes to any location on the globe.<br/><br/>(8) Wiktionary - multilingual, comprehensive, user-edited dictionary. Provides word definitions, etymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms and translations.<br/><br/>(9) Uncyclopedia - extremely entertaining wikipedia clone, that is filled with funny and not-necessarily correct articles. Check out: Colonel, Britney Spears, Donald Trump, …or an image pulled from an article about Women. (No offense ladies, it’s just funny…) <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/13-popular-wikis-that-actually-work/" title="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/13-popular-wikis-that-actually-work/">www.makeuseof.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><P> <IMG align="left" src="http://www.makeuseof.com/images/wiki.JPG" />We all love <A href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wikipedia-biggest-online-encyclopedia/" set="yes">wikipedia</A>: it’s comprehensive, 100% user-edited (aka wiki-style), up-to-date, rather objective, and totally free.

There are plenty of other successful wikis, focused on specific areas i.e, book summaries, cooking, HowTo’s and even ‘bullshit’.
