The article explains a history of blogging from the first website and discusses options for group projects and reference . Emails still seem to be a preferred method as I know I find following blogs tedious and of little interest to me. Credibility in reference based blogs is questionable. The article also offers web sites for a few commercial sites for creating your own wiki. Although I believe this to be out of date/

This article addresses the issues of what a wiki is, a way of sharing information and its use in the classroom. Two advantages to library instruction wikis: sharing knowledge and cooperating in creating resources.

Social tagging allows the user to create their own subject headings. Folksonomy created by library patrons can be problematic but allows for a wider range of dissemination of information.
4) Jimmy Wales: “How a ragtag band created Wikipedia”
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jimmy_wales_on_the_birth_of_wikipedia.html
Jimmy Wales on the Birth of Wikipedia was a very interesting video. I never knew about this Web site that I use every day. It’s made possible by thousand of everyday lay people Wales says, "It isn't perfect, but it's better than you'd expect," and that is how I use Wikipedia--as a start or a launching point. Wales discusses how the Wikipedia Foundation handles controversies, how they handle quality control, what types of software tools they use, and how they are governed. It is interesting Wales see that teachers beginning to use Wikipedia, and that he sees free-license textbooks as the future in education.
