Thing 19: Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I selected Wetpaint. What I liked about Wetpaint was that it has combined the finest elements of blogs, social networking and wikis. While exploring Wetpaint, I discovered a wiki by Nancy Pearl. It was very user friendly. It offers a lot of great info that I found useful. Could I see any applications for its use in a library setting? Patrons could create a wiki of their favorite books, cds and dvds. We are often asked if we keep a record of all of the items that they've ever checked out. This could be a good way for them to keep track of what they've read, listen to or watched.
