Spreading Wisdom Through the World of Wikihow


With the emergence of Web 2.0 and beyond, people have been able to capture their inner thoughts, emotions and ideas, and express them to the whole world. Web 2.0 successfully brought the amateur game to a desktop computer, when previously the Web was used exclusively as an information vehicle. One medium these personal ideas are channeled is through the use of Wiki’s. Wiki’s are a self edited (but moderated/governed) fact finding website that it’s informative content is becoming ever more reliable source for this information. Wikihow is a website where users can upload in-depth, step-by-step how to’s on anything. Wikihow does not have everything however; here are three ideas of things that could make lives easier if they could find it on Wikihow.

How to make cheesy cracker bites.

People are always on the go, and now days have less time than ever to eat. What would be a quick, but easy and tasty snack that mostly everyone would have the ingredients to? Look no further. Cheesy Cracker bites are simple, a piece of cheese on a triscuit cracker with a piece of peperoni on it, topped off with a banana pepper ring, microwaved for about 30 seconds. It can be tweaked however it is preferred, but the end result is a warm, crispy, and gooey treat.

How to scout football opponents using HUDL software

For football coaches, the time and effort spent on film is mind numbing. The tedious breakdown of every single aspect of a given football play is very time consuming. One option to simplify and expedite the process is to break down opposing teams using video editing software. There is no exact science to it, and because there is so much grey area, not many coaches are as well versed on the tricks of the trade as others. A simple how-to tutorial would go a long way into gaining an edge on the competition. For the simple football fan, sounding more logical at the water cooler Monday Mornings is always worth bragging rights.

How to Spot a weightlifter

Weight lifting is becoming ever more prevalent as a part of the normal workout routine. No longer is hitting the free-weights just the preferred method for body builders alike. Normal Joe-Six Pack guy is hitting the gym with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.  However, one of the most annoying, but consistent things that can happen is being asked to spot a fellow fitness enthusiast. Spotting is a big part of the process, from safety, to technique coaching, to simple motivation, spotting is a crucial part of the process. Having a basic understanding of how to spot someone, can go a long way.
