  A TWiki site is an easy-to-use, full-featured open communications environment: 
 people anywhere on the Web or on an intranet can meet
  rich Web text, images, and online multimedia are easily shared
  documents and other files can be uploaded and downloaded
  all you need is a Web browser and any available network connection

 There's no doubt that, to most people, TWiki at first seems almost the opposite of how the Web and online communications "normally" work. Why? 
 TWiki operates like a whiteboard for the Web - it lets you and all other users write, place pictures and post links, anywhere on any page.
  Not only that, everyone can EDIT anything, anywhere on a page.
  At first, this may seem "too" open - it soon becomes second-nature, allowing you the freedom to edit and update the way you want to.

+ TWiki is a powerful Web enhancement...
  TWiki's parsing engine is written in Perl. It reads a text file, and converts TWiki shorthand into standard HTML, on the fly. The point is to: 
 make adding and editing text simple (How simple? Click on the Edit link at the bottom of the page...) 
  let you find information fast (WebSearch)
  WikiCulture looks at the unique type of collaboration Wiki systems offer.
  WikiReferences links to articles and books about collaboration and Wiki technology.

+ NOTE: If you have to log-in to usr TWiki, for example, if Twiki is running on an intranet, it automatically signs pages you edit and create with your WikiName. If your TWiki installation doesn't require a log-in, TWiki gives everyone the same username: TWikiGuest.
