Wikis are not necessarily "social," however, some really are. Wikipedia appeals to a lot of people, IMO, because it acts, in many ways, like the old Web 1.0 to a lot of late adapters in that they go there for information only; not to actually add their input. It's Janusian nature also allows others to participate "socially." I like the distinction you make between social networks and wikis. Wikis are not necessarily “social,” however, some really are.
