Thing 16 Wikis

From what I read it seems that this program is good for some things and not so good for others.

One good thing would be doing video meetings : This would drastically save on gas for a lot of folks.
Planning programs : setting up a program asking the patrons what they would like to see or have in their library, then there input is direct.

A not so good feature of wikis = is spam I really don't like spam I dont like it in a can, dont want fried dont want it coming up on the computer and this happens with wikis people who want to be nasty can and the clean up effort is constant.

Getting time to update this web cite would be a job . So libraries would have to have the man power to devote time to it.

As I read about all these new terms I get the feeling I am falling way behind in the times and I'm not so sure about all this new technology or if I'll ever really understand much of it. But I am willing to keep learning even if it's at a snails pace.
