Now that I've wikied, what have I done? Signed up for the sandbox, added my blog, recommended some music and some resturants, read through the recommended wikis and tried to figure out whether or not I personally find them useful. Things like HCPL's print wiki work for me since it's so easy to use and check the status, but socially - not so much. A wiki wouldn't be the first place I'd look for resturants, or favorite anythings - mostly because I prefer to just google for professional opinions. I think wikis might work more for me on a microcosmic level, like a family wiki, or a social group wiki so that the opinions voiced would be framed by my knowledge of the person editing the page; or on a macrocosmic level where reputations would be the frame of reference.
I do use wikipedias for quick sourcing of info for reference, i.e. a child comes in with the name George Ferris as a topic, and using a wiki as a frame of reference and for basic informaton work well for me, especially since I know not to take the info posted as totally 100% valid - but it gives me a starting point.
An concept worth watching, but not always my weapon of choice.
