I've had fun looking around at various wikis. I added my blog to the list and then I added a favorite book, movie and music. I came across an article in USA Today today that brings home the power of wikis. Seems a tv show could have been canceled after a couple of episodes this season but the network is now looking at more than viewers at air time. People are watching tv differently since they can dvr shows or watch full episodes online. Network brass are also monitoring blogs and wikis that talk about a show to gage how much buzz there is or how people feel about it. Can you imagine saving your favorite show by starting a wiki ?
The only real problem I see with wikis is that there is no "authority" control and some things like wikipedia have to be carefully monitored. But the good thing is, if there is an error, someone can come along and correct it and the editing shows.
And, having something like the Marketing and Programming wiki available through Harriet allows us to keep up with print and sign requests and to follow the status. That is a good thing!
