Question for July 26, 2010

X is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser. Y was the first X. It was named so because the developer remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee telling him to take the X shuttle bus that runs between the airport's terminals. According to him, "I chose X-X as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web". Identify X. Bonus points for naming Y as well.
