8. Wikis

a.  The video was helpful.  I hadn't really been sure what was going on with wikis, especially Wikipedia.  I'm going to go ahead and post the video here as well.


b.  I gathered all my best girls for my wiki (see below).

c. Of the three sites suggested in the video, WikiSpaces is the only one that seemed like it was actually hosting wikis for free.  So I jumped right in.  Since my friend isn't going to be getting married for a while, I decide to create a birthday wiki for me.  The site itself is pretty easy to use and you can go through a tutorial, but I don't think that this is something that I will ever use in the future.  With all the technology at our disposal on a daily basis, I think I'd be more likely to email or text my friends than to go through creating a wiki, especially if it was for a one-time thing.  My friends and I barely used it and that was after I had to text them so that they would join.
