What about Wikibuy is a wiki?

[joncrane]

Wiki means fast in Hawaiian.

It came to be synonymous with online community editable websites for information.

But it's original meaning is from the Hawaiian phrase "wiki wiki" which means quickly.

So it makes sense. Quickbuy.

[appleflaxen]

that's the origin, but not exactly what the contemporary computer meaning is (which is more like "crowd-sourced")

[liveoneggs]

wikipedia has tons of goodwill so calling yourself "wiki"-something is excellent free marketing

you're right! I never realized
