More people search for wikis than blogs. This is one metric I use to gauge general growth. Check out what Google’s Keyword Tool has to say about [wiki] using the “Search Volume Trends” setting in the combo box.
OK, so maybe wikis are searched for more than blogs because of the nature of their use rather than their popularity. Whatever the case, searches on the up and that’s important for those with an eye on the long tail + SEO.

The popularity of the search term wiki is thought to be due to people typing in wiki when they are looking for wikipedia.
Still I think wiki use is going to explode.
