Playing with wikis

Wikis are another piece of technology I knew nothing about until I started Learn & Play. I have looked on Wikipedia before, but haven't really done much with it, since I didn't like that anyone could edit an entry, whether or not they were "in the know" about a subject. It was good to see there were some wikis that are a little more selective in the people who can make changes.

Seeing different book reviews and synopses were probably the most interesting part of this exercise for me. I generally look at Amazon.com to see if an book is worth checking out or buying. (Even though I do what I want regardless of a few bad reviews). But I've found that some of the reviews aren't very helpful, or relevant for that matter.
