#16 So what’s in a wiki?

I've been using Wikis for some time. I've edited existing articles on Wikipedia, my genealogy is on another wiki, I maintain a page about my fave singer on a music wiki and I contribute to the Library Technician wiki. My library doesn't use a wiki yet, but a similar library uses an internal wiki for their researchers so that when a subject is first announced for a paper all the researchers can contributed chunks of information before one person takes the job of writing up the paper. I've been browsing through the external wikis that other libraries / organisations have created and some are really coming up with good stuff.

These are the blogs (tho not the entries as I'm using separate identities that I'd like to keep separate) that I use:
http://librarytechnician.wikispaces.com/
http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
http://www.wikimusicguide.com/
http://www.wikipedia.org/

There's wikis about almost everything now. Just try a google search on your subject +wiki and see what comes up. You may have to broaden the search, eg, a search under your fave singers name may not get a hit, but music +wiki will.
