Wikis

I love wikis and they are great tools to gain perspective and ideas from people world wide. It also gives people a chance to share information with people on specific subject matter.

I liked the Book Review and ALA New Orleans Event wiki's posted on the JPL blogspot. As librarians, book review wikis are especially helpful in that it saves time when looking up a specific book review. The wikis allow the reader to gain a conscise version of those hundred or so reviews that pop up.

Also, with events such as ALA its cool that wikis are available for people who are not directly in contact with the ALA so they can arrange travel, schedules, ect..

Basically wiki's are super helpful in my opinion.
