Wiki-ty Wiki-ty Wiki-ty Whack!

Having fun with Things 16 & 17 -- Wiki's! I was previously familiar with wiki's, and have found several that I utilize that pertain to my interests. In fact, I think I linked to one in a previous post about the LOST ARG that introduced me to so many of 2.0 tools we've been discussing.

I can think a pretty good use for a wiki for Sebring library. In fact, it could have possibly helped out the librarian today. Sebring doesn't have a lot going on, but there is a lot of history. Just the potteries alone could probably fill a wiki, but there are other businesses and of course, the Sebring brothers themselves. Just today, someone contacted the library in search of a company from long ago, that no one I know (and I'm a life-long Sebring resident!) has ever heard of. Perhaps if there was a Sebring history wiki out there, we would have been able to help our patron.

A local history wiki. Now that is something I'd never have thought of doing.
