Where there's a wiki, there's a way!

I think for a library first coming into Wiki technology SeedWiki or PBWiki would be the way to go. I like that they are both easy to understand and seem to be user-friendly. SeedWiki seems beneficial because there are no advertisements on the page and you can have an unlimited number of pages and wikis. One drawback though is that you have to pay for a subscription to control who is capable of editing. Not having that kind of control might lead to problems with information changing mysteriously. PBWiki is extremely user-friendly. I love that they have a walk through tour that shows you how to set up a new wiki. The format doesn’t look like a wiki users might be familiar with, but it is an easy, simple layout. I found the website was not overwhelming in the least, unlike some of the other wiki sites I looked at. Wetpaint seemed too flashy and teen oriented and unfortunately I couldn’t access any wiki pages on Wikia. I found categories but didn’t find anything with any information.  Overall, I would choose between SeedWiki and PBWiki to start out with. And progress from there once I’ve got a handle on things.

PS- I absolutely LOVE the library example for Library Instruction!
