week 17 more about Wiki

I tried to follow the provided instructions, but found impossible to add my blog name to the list at the end of the link that was provided in this weeks exercise. After clicking on the "edit" I was requested to log in and then the "edit" option just disappeared.
I tried different approach and created my own wiki to which I linked my blog. The costumer service at the Wiki is pretty good and I received some easy to follow instructions to do things. I think that was probably the reason why the instructions on Learning 2.0 were so poor, it was a cleaver way to guide me towards more extensive exploration of the Wiki.

Wikis

Wikis look like a great discussion tool. People world a part can create things together using this as a amazing vehicle for collaboration.

In the library system I see its use as a way to get opinions and ideas. Then the ideas can be taken further in to open dyscussions as a source of feedback from wide range of people, library users and nonusers.

Could make the library experiance even more interactive and feel less "stif" for the younger users.

We could have opinions about our collections and reviews of the items available in the library,or new books available for purchase, helping controlling our collections through collecting feedback from the “reading community”.

I don’t see Wikis as the best source of information, since there is no guarantee for the information to be correct.In my book a fakt should always be dry and untuched by emotions.
