While blogs and social sharing sites have gotten most of the media attention when it comes to the newer Web 2.0 applications, Wikis may have more practical application for business.
A good example was recently brought to our attention by Gerardo Méndez, the quality manager at Geometrica, builders of large column-free enclosures based on efficient geometric shapes. The company has posted an article that narrates their journey to ISO 9001 certification and describes how a wiki can actually help not only to comply with ISO's requirements, but to capture volumes of tacit knowledge in an organization and manage it effectively.
Geometrica has its headquarters in Houston, Texas and its main plant in Monterrey, Mexico. Through seventeen years, the organization has provided affordable and environmentally-friendly dome and space frame structures worldwide.

Yes I agree. I visited the article and learned about the use of wiki. I trust this kind of application is not widely used yet by executives around the world. The wiki is surely one of those real-time tools that we can utilize to make group interactions more efficient.
