The wiki phenomenon is truly getting legs, particularly since we're all becoming accustomed to the opportunity to participate in the creation and collection of knowledge, entertainment, etc. Myspace, Youtube and their ilk enjoy phenomenal attention because of the "social authoring" aspect. Check out these sites for more information on social authoring:
www.elgg.org
http://community.uaf.edu/~cde/wiki/WCET06/HomePage
https://www.umanitoba.ca/virtuallearningcommons/ This is a social space for faculty and students.
And if you haven't seen it, look at the cousin of wikipedia--wikibooks at www.wikibooks.com
where textbooks are authored by public participation.
I'm pleased to let you know that we are now testing packages that would give faculty the opportunity to make wikis, blogs, and author games and gaming quizzes. More about that later.
