Thing #16 & #17 WIKIS

I must say that the creators of these new techie terms -- wikis, del.icio.us, merlin rolly, etc -- probably began their career creating names of the various street names in Columbia, MD or who knows, they may have grew up on one of those strange streets and was inspired.
This week's term gets more respect than del.icio.us!! After reviewing various websites to become more familiar with wikis, I believe it would be useful for HCL intranet, school research responses, collaborative projects, or creating documents. At HCL, creating a wiki for book reviews from staff and the community would be awesome! It would help a patron conclude if the book is right for them. Of course, I guess we would be copying from Amazon. Is that ok? The utube presentation had great points, too -- less email generated, one central site.
I do have a hang up with this concept just like del.icio.us and others out there that it is free speech and thus will have opinions, slander, lack credibility, and gossip. I truly don't have time to waste my time surf or snurfing around the world wide web to read outlandish things. I much prefer to have a face-to-face conversation with my friends and family. I feel that if the writer needs to be anonymous than it doesn't need to be published. (Of course that is my opinion).

I was teambuilding with my fellow cenchtech goddesses. In case you don't understand I edit a SIwiki post?#$%@%$

Things #13, #14, & #15 (rev1)


Deli.cio.us : When someone mentions that word typically the picture at left automatically comes to mind, not the numerous web sites that one can access. I can see that for some users this feature streamlines their time by having the website available on all computers that the user works on. For me bookmarking will be sufficient to use because for now, all the work computers have different sites I need and I only have one computer at home. Do you think if I begin to think of del.icio.us in terms of multiply website availability from numerous computers, do you think I'll lose my appetite to eat those delicious sweets?
