Thing #12: Sticky wiki

I really enjoyed exploring the different wikis we could link to from the 23 Things site, because I could see the utility of this pathway to organizational communication as a fluid and very inclusive medium. I still don't think that in a larger context, everyone has equally valid input as a purveyor of information. A contributor's credentials are necessary to my assessment of the weight to give a reference resource in behalf of a patron or for my own purposes. As an in-house, intra- organization communicating tool, a wiki may be a super route to easily navigated, facile negotiations. However, Wikipedia as an encyclopedia for the dissemination of general information to a naive public is maybe not too cool. Of course, I use it almost every day! But not for citations--just quick peeks at a subject to set me on a fresh trail. For that, it works well.
