I feared I was falling way behind with the L2TD...got that wiki activity under control. They are mostly very easy to use and add content to...Wikipedia was a bit more complicated so I added my content in as simplistic a way as possible..I didn't register to edit so perhaps that was a little slack...I added some content about the correct pronounciation of my town to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackay,_Queensland
I wouldn't make a habit of editing wikipedia, it was all a little too complicated, but those other apps like Wetpaint, they were great. Really hoping to integrate wikis into our information services in the library in the near future...

Wiki-mania
I have been contemplating kick-starting a bit of an entertainment wiki for my town for some time...it may happen eventually
Wikis are a great little tool for information sharing, professional development, and, of course, pure pleasure. The slq library 2.0 wiki looks to be a great resource for libraries outside of Brisbane - allowing us to keep abreast of the types of Web2.0 technologies that SLQ are pushing and promoting. It is easy to feel disconnected from the goings on in our state centre, but this wiki could be really useful in establishing that connection. Library success: a best practices wiki offers some great ideas regarding initiatives and great successes in the library world. Seems to be a US-centred wiki, would be good to see more Aussie wikis like this one. Last but not least, pure pleasure with the Wookieepedia wiki - I am a bit of a Star Wars geek so definitely a very entertaining wiki...who knew there was a made-for-TV "Star Wars" special featuring Carrie Fisher singing words to the famous theme music?
Our Library is in the process of getting our intranet-based wiki fully-functioning as a work-assistance tool. It will be a fantastic way to publish all those bits and pieces of information about our workplace that don't really have a better home and thereby create an easy-to-use knowledge base.
Our customers have gone mad for Stephenie Meyer and Twilight so that would perhaps be a good wiki to create that customers and staff can share - or of course just a general "good reads" type of wiki...
