The whole concept of 'wikis' is rather mind boggling. Anybody can edit anything, and that means no control, no quality assurance, and no limits to the kind of information you can find. The plus side of wikis is freedom; the negative side is anarchy. It truly is like the Wild West.
Since I do like to read books, I enjoyed looking at 'Book Lovers Wiki' developed by Princeton Public Library. I like to see what other communities are reading. It's usually different from your own, and you can get a lot of good suggestions that you wouldn't have otherwise. And it goes without saying that our library system could use this successfully.
Also, yousendit.com looks intriguing. You can send large files (up to 100 mb) to an e-mail account. I suppose that you better hope that the e-mail account in question can handle it.
