wikis

Well have finally got to week about wikis. I can see they'll prove to be very useful as a sharing and learning tool , both in the workplace and if you were studying. I particularly enjoyed the Princeton Library wiki which included book reviews. Admittedly most of the reviews seemed to be about American books but of course you'd expect this.
There was one review of a book that I really liked myself " Julie And Julia" by Julie Powell.
This is the story of how a girl in USA tries to make all the recipes in one year from one of Julia Childs famous cook books. Unfortunately the language is very off puting, she reaches for the F****** whisk, etc on nearly every page! The reviewer on the Princeton wiki didn't mention this fact.
