-"Creating your own wiki is a fairly straightforward process. Commercial sites abound on the Internet that allow anyone to create a free wiki. Some of the best known sites are seedwiki (seedwiki.com), pbwiki (pbwiki org), jotspot (http://www.jot.com/), twiki.org (twiki.org), and Phpwiki (phpwiki.org). Like free but basic e-mail service, free wikis are lacking in bells and whistles but seem to suffice for most users' needs. The option to upgrade (for a fee) is always available. Find the company with the most user-friendly interface and create an account."
-"centralized resource collaboration tool"
-Wikis are in general very similiar to the popularity of Google Documents...shared, collaborative workspaces which allow multiple users to contribute simutaneously and see updates when logging back in. The wiki system software might be different, but the idea of how online collaboration continues to be explored is an interesting concept.

-social tagging = saving bookmarks online
-"A few libraries are trying out social tagging: the University of Pennsylvania (UP) was one of the first library adopters with its PennTags (tags.library.upenn.edu/). The site allows UP students, faculty, and staff to bookmark quality Web sites and records in UP's online catalog and share these resources with others. Additionally UP users can create and share "projects" or groups of links on a single site named for the topic."

-goal was to give a free encyclopedia to everyone on the planet
-how they manage quality control: neutral point-of-view policy
-wiki model is how they work, not "web anarachists"..."passion of the community is for the quality of the work, not the process used to generate it"
-wiki books projects..."freely licensed textbooks are the next big thing in education"
