Ok, I've been looking at wiki's. I'm a bit dubious about some of the information I've gotten. I don't think it's really something that I would use as gosple truth. It's to easy for misinformation to get posted. Also it's to easy for some one to change what I posted, wether it's right or wrong. I think it has a good application for libraries and perhaps local book clubs. To see other peoples revues of books is helpful. There are so many books to pick from it's nice to see the average person give thier opionion. I think it would be great if local book clubs could post the book of the month and some info about the book. You might read a book just because of what has been posted.
I'm not sure I could use it for information that I wanted to share in a report or paper. I would always doubt what I am reading. Maybe to find some basic information about a subject, I might look at wikipedia, but I think I would want something with more structure for my final determination of information.
I enjoyed looking at many of the different applications. I think it would benefit teen extreme with great books, or fun crafts/projects to do with this difficult age. Sharing that type of information is good.
I liked the application for the confrence in New Orleans. It was interesting to see what people would recommend for restaraunts, or sight seeing. It would be helpful when planning what lectures to listen to.
There are many good applications for wiki's. It just takes a lot of time to look and read them. I would probably look for something when I'm planning a vacation or trying to find a new author. It's been a fun experience. I really enjoyed the wiki on rss feed. They made it simple and I was able to understand it. It was cute and refreshing because it was so low-tech.

Guess what? There was a study done on Wikipedia, and the study concluded that the information was just as accurate as Britannica. Britannica was furious!
