#4 Wikis
Oh Dear, is that the time?! I have a bit of catching up to do.Wikis: Who doesn't like wikis? Anyone who was here during the SLV website's last ice age, (you may remember there was a period of several years when nothing could be changed because it was being "updated"), well any such person would jump at the chance for a collaborative website where people with info could just put it out there and everyone could immediately share that knowledge. Yes there is the potential for wild hooligans to put poorly composed tracts of inaccurate garbage up there (there are plenty of professional journalists and web aficionados who can do that too) but mostly they don't. As with any information source, the reader has to take some responsibility for their own gullibility/laziness. If you know how a wiki works you may suspect that it is not 100% reliable all the time, but for quick info and news, particularly for a specific user group eg a workplace, what a great idea!
