I wiki therefore I am

Yes I looked at the library wikis and was very underwhelmed. Yes I edited our library wiki to let the world know that 2 is my favourite number (well not really, it just seemed like the 'correct' thing to say). I'm sure wikis are useful to some people somewhere. However, is this a new idea? After having participated in this activity, it became clear to me where I had seen this before. Wikis are just the internet version of talkback radio where any unqualified pleb can add their two cents about whatever they like regardless of the facts. Yes I am doing the same, but who will stop me? I fear no reprisals as I sully the internet with my inane thoughts. In order to escape it is best to tune out, as most of us do to those talkback radio gurus.
