Wiki's (#18)

I believe the Wikis are a handy tool. Especially because it enables the everyday user to be able to produce their own wiki website. All users essentially having the eopportunity to be authors and edit and undate the knowledge bank.
A great tool for being able to pool various users expertise in given domains. A very useful and helpful tool particularly for collaborating information about given topics. I like the example given for conferences. People could access the wiki for the up and coming Conference to find out about locations, restaurants,places to stay etc.
There is of course the downside and that is that the information being given is valid and not incorrect. The information is very subjective and the user needs to be aware of this.
