What is the value of all this?
I really don't know anyone would be interested in what I have to say on a blog, about green birds, or anything else. Nor do I know why I would be interested in what other people say when they waffle on about their personal interests - the whole thing seems very egocentric to me, and pandering to the ME factor. I also find it difficult to know why a Wikipedia full of individuals' added bits of information should be regarded as having any merit! How are future readers going to distinguish between authoritative information and Joe Blow's opinions?

The wikipedia debate regarding the authoritativeness of the information is certainly one that can be argued. I use wikipedia sometimes, but use the added references at the end of article more that the body of the article.
I do believe however that there is a place for wikis, especially as staff manuals.

Thank you, Lynette, for always being encouraging, even to the blog-sceptics like me!
