Wiki (Wacky Woo)

I'm a little familiar with Wikis already, having used them occasionally as sites to help patrons when they ask questions in "AskAway". I always send a warning that Wikis are a often notorious for providing misinformation. They're a nice start, but not a be-all, end-all for a reference librarian.

I did like the video provided by this class that explained how friends could use a wiki rather than massive amounts of e-mail to organize a group event. Weird thing, though. With my friends, e-mail and telephone calls work just fine. No one has ever suggested the use of a wiki page. Something for the future perhaps....?
