Yet another module that I had heard about and kind of used but never really worked with myself. I think everyone in the world uses Wikipedia at some point or another and I am one of those people. However, I have/had never edited a wiki before we started doing it for shelf reading hear in Circulation and now for 23 things.
I checked out a couple of the Wikis that were listed in the module. The one called Foodista was neat because it incorporated pop culture and current things into the subject of food. For example when I opened the page I saw a story about Rhianna, the singer, and I was like, "Why is she on here this is a food wiki?!" Then i read on and saw that it was about the cake that she served at her recent birthday party.
Another one that I looked at was the Wiki How site. This is one that I have seen and I believe used before for personal use, but I can not for the life of me remember what for. I think it can be very useful, however, it shouldn't be used too seriously I don't think. Pretty much anybody can change and edit a wiki and all the information may not be completely accurate.
