Wikis are a logical extension of email services and their potential is enormous for any shared activity. I created my own wiki using Paint and successfully added links to it but I am unsure how much, if at all, I shall use it after these Web 2.0exercises. I also edited one wiki.
I was distinctly underwhelmed by most of the wikis that I checked out:
The currency of posts left a lot to be desired on the New South Wales Marketing wiki. It's an eye-catchingly set up wiki but the posts are so old they aren't going to be of interest to most people
The Mint Museum was impressive but I couldn't see any options to edit the content so - understandably- it must be restricted to staff at the Museum.I could see no advantage in its being a wiki - it looks just like a website
The Likwiki is set out like Wikipedia. It is uninspiring to look at and its content is fairly pedestrian too.
A successful wiki needs to be attractively set up and generate enough interest in its content to inspire people to contribute regularly and keep the posts up to date and relevant.
