TWiki is one of several flavors of a wiki web. Wikis are websites that anyone can edit. I like the TWiki variety cause it is more inviting for non-techies (I installed a TWiki at my last job and have something like 80% of the company using it regularly). Check out <a rel="nofollow" href="http://twiki.org">http://twiki.org</a>. The original wiki is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki">http://c2.com/cgi/wiki</a>.
Wikis are great for intranets where lots of people have stuff to contribute and you're not concerned about the resulting web pages being perfect, saying the "right" thing, or being graphically dense.
Wikis are great for development teams to document their processes. Requirements docs, progress reports, QA details, and such can be kept in a wiki and updated by anyone on the team.
Wikis are wonderful for tech support organizations to keep their collected wisdom.
In a nutshell, a wiki is just a website with an edit button at the bottom -- often a scary thing to managers and usually a wonderful thing to worker bees.
