Thing #8

Wiki's are pretty cool. I was a semi regular user of wikipedia, until someone told me that it is free for everyone to add information to it. Now as much as I trust people, I don't think it can be 100% acurate on many things. For example, some people may be biased on a certain subject and proceed to write about it in a biased manor. However, I also like it because you also can get true information that you wouldn't necessarily get anywhere else. For example, people personally attached to a particular subject can give insightful knowledge on let's say a famous person. It is indeed "radical trust" and I really don't know where it will go in the years to come. It can definately be helpful for librarians as they share new and upcoming information among each other.
