Oh yeah! I forgot to blog about wikis. It seems strange to me to blog about wikis. It's like Tweeting about Facebook. Sometimes I wonder about technology for the sake of technology. I know wikis are useful for collaborative work, but I find it doesn't fit my style well. I tend to work alone. I know that flies in the face of every constructivist dogma ever written, but I often find that the challenges of groupwork are not worth any benefit that may emerge. The whole concept of a group document is strange to me. Maybe it's the Ayn Rand in me, but I think where there is no ownership, there is no excellence.
With that said, back to the topic of wikis. The concept is decent, and it does serve its purpose. To open up a document to the masses seems strange. I know that wikis overcome the problem of emailing documents back and forth, but I suppose I'm a bit old-school. At least it's good to know that they exist, and knowing how to use them can't hurt anyone.
