Thing #16 Wiki

I knew that wikipedia was not considered a credible source but I didn't know why. I didn't realize that anyone could get on and add something. There are many pros to this system of collaboration and just as many cons. I enjoyed checking out the book lovers wiki. Its a nice way to share information and book reviews are subjective anyway so credibility isn't really an issue. I also checked out the ALA conference wiki. This seems like a useful tool to collaborate for an event. I am a lindy hop dancer and attend national events called exchanges where dancers from all over come together for long weekends of dancing in various cities. This would be a nice tool so that people could add what they think is relevant to the event/location.
