Wikis, Microblogging, and Bears! Oh my!

Yay for Wikis!

Until now, I believe that the only wiki I've looked at much is Wikipedia, which has always been quite useful.  I liked some of the library wikis with their current information showing popular books, reviews, and user comments.  The main benefits of this format that I see are the input from patrons, and the ease of editing the wiki to include new material.  Now on to microblogging.

Thumbs Down for Microblogging

Ah yes, microblogging...the bane of my existence.  Ok, maybe its not that bad, but I am not a fan of microblogging.  I already signed up for Yammer a while ago, and while it seems like it might be useful, nobody seems to have much to say (me included).  Not having much to say is better, in my opinion, than how most people seem to use Twitter.  I have no desire to know where everyone is at and exactly what they're doing at every second of every day.  The only thing worse than reading a bunch of inane posts about random people's daily lives would be reading a bunch of inane posts by celebrities who use Twitter.  Apparently though this is what literally millions of people like to do.

Bears, the No. 1 Threat to People Everywhere!

At least according to Stephen Colbert.

P.S.  I forgot to say anything about technorati, so here we go.  Seems like a useful site for finding info about blogs or finding new blogs you might be interested in.  Unfortunately parts of the site weren't working correctly when I tried it so I don't have much more to say.
