Wetpaint Wiki

I just created my first wiki and it was really easy. I loved the way it was so easy to set-up. I just started off with the very basics, but I want to go back and play with it. Of course there is very little content right now, but I am hoping that there will be more soon. I have invited the librarians that I work with plus some IT people to join in and help me create the content.

I think that this will work great in my case because I am a librarian that is at a satellite campus that is 80 miles away from the main campus. I do meet with the other librarians once a month and we do email, but this wiki will give us a chance to collaborate on a daily basis without having to email documents, phone long distance, meet via ITV, etc. I am hoping that I will actually feel more connected to everyone.

Now the biggest problem will be to get my co-workers to actually use this site. It is not necessarily that they are against new technology, it is just that everyone is spread a little thin these days. This is one of the technologies that I never thought I would actually use, that I am now excited to begin using.
