I am familiar with Wikis and have a Wiki page on another site not relating to libraries but supporting some of my outside interests. I created that Wiki last spring and it has been useful for me in understanding this exercise and the applications of Wikis in the Library setting. The users of Wikis (i.e. contributors) are very knowledgeable in their field; it is important when creating a profile to have some qualifications/knowledge about the content since it is important to link your Wiki page to other sites, organizations, people with similar concerns. It's another way to interconnect with the world outside your own. I particularly found the Wiki Library Success: a best practices Wiki very informative and it has potential for me in my job here at the Library. Before I sign on and create a profile, however, I need time to read the entire Wiki, look at the links more extensively, and see what others are contributing. This is a great site:

Big Brown Wins the Preakness
I am still sad over the loss of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby while I delighted in Big Brown's decisive win. After I watched the Florida Derby in early spring, I knew Big Brown would be a contender for the Triple Crown. His looks remind me of Barbaro. Well he did it again folks at the Preakness. I would love to see him win the Triple Crown. He's an awesome horse.
Thing 10 was created from BlinkYou.com
I have edited this caption since I decided to keep it on my blog as an early attempt in Thing 10 to post image generators. It was very frustrating until I got the hang of doing this. I have played around with re-sizing image generators, removing them if too big, moving them around my blog. Alas, I sort of like this one because of liking cats and butterflies. So I will leave it here. I am still learning as I go on.
Barbaro on You Tube
This is one of my favorite tributes to the beloved Barbaro, forever in my heart:
Secretariat's Belmont Race
Many horseracing fans hoped that Barbaro would win the Triple Crown and he was often compared to Secretariat, known fondly as Big Red. Secretariat's Belmont record still stands. If you love horses and have time to watch this, it's worth it. I am lucky enough to have witnessed this Triple Crown victory. I was a race fan even back then:
