It was fun searching the different wiki examples given in the Learning 2.0 lesson. Wikipedia has always been a useful (but not always reliable) source for general information. When you open up information for the general public to edit and moderate as they please, information and opinions can vary.
I think wikis can be a very useful tool for various businesses and in Library Land. Given that they are moderated or regulated to an extent, they are a useful platform to disperse information. Think of it as a newsletter or newspaper online.
I think any library could benefit from an online newsletter wiki, a wiki for procedures or regulations, even a book list or recommended reading wiki for staff or the public. The uses are endless!
