Thing 17 - Wikis

Always wondered how a wiki got it's name. That's assuming the information is correct. While it's great that we don't need to know programming to create a wiki, I'm very concerned about the integrity of the information.

I rely on wikis for pop culture info, but hesitate to use them for research. When I know nothing about a topic I will grab a wiki for initial info, but then move on to documented websites.

The ALA-Chicago Conference wiki was a great idea and I enjoyed browsing through that.
