Week 7, Thing 16

I like wikis. For me, they are a starting point. I like the links that allow me to go off on a tangent- which I often do and then forgot what I was originally researching. However, with a capital H- when working with patrons I stress and then stress again, that the information must be verified and not taken as hard fact.

I recently learned someone did research into who changes and updates info found in wikis. The findings reveals that most of the editing is done by companies that have been dissed; they change or eliminate the offending matter. Geez louise, exhibit some decent principals, please.
