Week 7: Wikis

Wiki is one of the most incredible new tools on the internet. Initially, I didn’t know that the information could be inserted by anyone in the Wiki. I think this affects Wiki’s credibility. We can’t trust the information on Wiki’s unless we double checked with other formal and accurate source.
Anyway, I still admire the concept of Wiki. It’s a cool idea for gathering information by a kind of ‘DIY’ way. I like it personally, and we still can find some general information there easily and quickly. I’was shocked by an article, it says ‘the chance of Wikipedia having mistakes is less the Encyclepedia Britannica’. Sounds funny?

I was not sure about the meaning of “OPAC”, so I search it by Google. Guess what? The first web I found is exactly “Wikipedia”!!! How popular Wiki is nowadays! We can feel that. Also I’ve got the right answer from there. Not bad! I like it.
