Activity 5: Wikis

The concept of a wiki highlights how the web has become a collaborative public forum for anyone with an internet connection. I looked at lots of different wikis used for various, interesting reasons. I liked the 'Book Lovers Wiki' which hosts book reviews by library patrons (very interesting to read 2 different reviews of the same book). I also find it most interesting that a wiki can contain more accurate information than some encyclopedias. I remember reading about this earlier in my studies (wikipedia versus Britannica!). Again, I am loving the concept of ordinary people wanting to share.
