Wikis are an integral part of social media but it is often a more involved process to set one up, compared to simpler tools like blogs. However, the benefits of having a wiki can far outweigh the costs of implementation. An effective social media strategy incorporating wikis can lower the cost of product support, enhance customer loyalty, and streamline partner relationships especially in areas such as training and collaboration.
