For a while it seemed that "wikis" were a taboo subject in the library realm. I am not sure if it was a matter of ignorance on how to use the technology or the fear instilled by the occasional media report about out how Wikipedia was manipulated to show incorrect information. As the CommonCraft video demonstrates, wikis are far better at centralizing content development, when compared with e-mail.
The use of internal wikis are a great way for a remote team members to coordinate efforts. For example, when researching the history of our Fairdale library branch, our team used a pbworks wiki to host our research and this meant fewer face-to-face meetings and final, quality product delivered in a matter of weeks (not months).
For the purpose of 23 Things, I chose to add Manchester United's logo to the favorite team and Junot Diaz, Ernest Hemingway and William Styron to the list of favorite authors.
