Thing 16: Wikis: Wikis are interesting objects because they create new ways of sharing information and ideas, while at the same time, they raise the specter of doubt in the credibility of the information shared. I think wiki's are valuable collaboration tools, but have limited value in the sharing of authoritative knowledge. Oftentimes the very people who talk about the value of the wiki are the people who cast the most doubt about the value of the information they provide. This isn't such a negative thing--it should be viewed as a cautionary statement concerning the need to conduct scholarly research for authoritative data.
