Wikis

Strengths: Seemed easy to use, and very professional. It easily explained how to cut and paste information into a Wiki. You could have a number of administrators. You owned your content.

Weaknesses: Paid for service, on the basic package you only get the right to create one wiki. Depending on which price plan you go for you get a limited amount of storage space and bandwith. No service levels guaranteed.

Opportunities: A way to share and update information across a number of people. A quick way to keep subject / database pages up to date. Could create report documents together, would be good if there was an easy export into Word etc.

Threats: You could put a lot of work in for the service to go down. People didn't update it making the information useless.
