The thing I find the most interesting about Wikis is that they are so easy to edit by anyone. It's a little scary to think that information you post can be changed fairly easily. Maybe I'm paranoid.
I did find the library wiki interesting in that right now we are working on Strategic Planning and on the LISwiki, Durham County Public Library has their Strategic Plan listed. It was interesting to read and compare/contrast.
As far as using a wiki in my job, I can see them helping with cutting down on meetings. If you can post, add/edit, and make changes instead of having to meet each time, it could cut way back on the amount of time spent on meetings.
As for using a wiki in my personal life, I think my first paragraph explains how I feel about that. If you are planning a party, it could be helpful and used the way the little film showed. Other than that, I can't say I'd use if for my personal life.
I did go into the knitting wiki that was listed. I found it very interesting, especially the Knitting in the round section. I was happy to find the section on free patterns. I'm always on the lookout for those.

Nothing wrong with paranoia...makes it harder for those who are out to get you to...well...get you.
ReplyDeleteProblem with using the wiki like in the video is that I've seen Google Docs used in just the same way, more easily, to my way of thinking.
But I agree with your points. You're a wise woman.
Can't say I've had much experience with Google Docs. I imagine there's probably all kinds of things out there to gather and sort information. It's all a matter of personal preference and comfort level.
