Week 12 Muddiest Point

Why is there a fee to upgrade a wiki? Are there any preventive measure against spamming social tagging?

Week 12

The article on libraries and wikis was a good article. I like the idea and personally think it would be a good idea. The East Tennessee State library having a instructional program to walk students through their website is a excellent example of the benefits. The article also mention it's use in classroom instruction which makes things much easier for both student and instructor. The social tagging article was also brilliant,storing bookmarks in other places online is convenient. I believe libraries would benefit from this tremendously.Jimmy Wales is a very smart individual and very well organized. Wikipedia is currently one of the top online encyclopedias. I usually use wikipedia to obtain general information on a subject,then do my own research from there.
