I'm pretty sure everyone knows about Wikipedia...the usefulness and dangers of it. The idea of a wiki, something anyone can add too without having to know how to write code, is a fantastic idea...in theory. As one of the tutorials said, "If you're a control freak, wiki's might not be for you." And I feel that I may slightly fall into that category. The idea of anyone being able to add what they want is a little frightening to me. I'm not sure if they have ways where you can decide who becomes a member to be able to post, I really don't know the logistics of setting a wiki up. But I can also see the usefulness of these. Collaborating on a specific subject with other people that hold that same interest can really be a great resource. I feel that this would be a great way to set up reader's advisory lists, by actually letting the customers add the books that they enjoyed to a specific genre list.
