Thing #16

I first visited the Bull Run wiki. If I wanted to edit I needed to request access. Other than the edit tab, it looked like a regular webpage. The Book lovers wiki was "prettier" but similar a format. The ALA New Orleans wiki used the same format as Wikipedia and that made it have a familiar feel to it.
It seems that there are many 2.o tools that allow very similar applications. I created a "group" for my book club on my social networking account and made it so all members could edit. We can discuss the books, meeting times, other stuff and theoretically edit each other's comments. So this application is not a wiki, but has similar qualities. It doesn't seem like you would use a wiki unless you wanted it very open and available to the public.
