The Queen of Wikis

Meredith Farkas is known to some people as the Queen of Wikis. She's probably most famous for creating Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki, and the event wikis for the ALA Chicago 2005, ALA New Orleans 2006, and the Internet Librarian conference 2007.

I attended an online seminar that Meredith taught through Sirsi Dynix and I was most impressed with her practical uses of the tool. She says she isn't "wiki crazy" its just that she happens to have found a lot of good uses for them in her life. Her theory seems to be that they're useful, available for free, easy to create, and practical, so why not use them?

2.0 makes it a cinch to share

Perhaps what I like best about 2.0 is how easy it is to share photos, thoughts, articles & information with people. Here are two quick examples.
