Wikis

ARGHHH

Once again I wrote a wonderful new post, clicked on publish post and got an error message! What is up with blogger?

This week’s lesson is on wikis. I’ve used Wikipedia, of course, but didn’t realize the number of personal/private wikis.

I looked for wikis on “elephants” and “figure skating” on wiki.com and was disappointed at the results. Looks like a lot of wikis get started and then fewer and fewer posts are made.

As the weeks go by, I realize that I am just too private a person to find web 2.0 technologies useful. I don’t want to tweet so you can know what I am doing. I don’t want to post my thoughts to a blog. I don’t want to look at Facebook every day to see what other people are doing. I’d just rather read a book.

As always, this was a good lesson for me to learn something new—and to realize something about myself.
