Wiki Play...

Well, I went to the library wiki and played around a bit. I didn't do anything other than what the exercise requested, but I did look at other things. As a social tool (which is essentially what this wiki is) I find that it's okay, but there are other types of social networking which are probably easier (forums come to mind).

Still, it's relatively simple to add and change a wiki and I'm sure they'll become more useful over time. I do know of some alternative groups and web societies that are using wikis to keep living histories of themselves. It's a fascinating experiment in social history and an interesting throwback to our less "civilized" times. :)
