Ah, eventually all things come back to their Hawaiian roots. Before there were online wikis, before there was Wikipedia, there was the Wiki Wiki Shuttle! Honolulu's airport shuttle. Heck, it's fun riding the thing if only for the opportunity to say I'm going to ride the Wiki Wiki Bus!! In fact, there's even a Wikipedia entry about said shuttle. Pretty neat.
Getting down to the business at hand, it was interesting searching the various wiki examples given in the Learning 2.0 lesson. I could not view a couple of them due to blockage by City internet filters. But I believe that I received a fairly good education on wikis from what I did read. It was interesting to note that the Bull Run Public Library wiki is actually maintained by one library user. It's not a library product at all!
I could see that libraries could find many interesting ways to utilize wikis... a book lover wiki in which individuals could post comments on various favorite books, a today in the library informative newsletter wiki, and so on. The former could provide open posting, and the latter could be edited by library staff only.

I love the wiki wiki bus, and how you have made Hawaii your overarching "theme" for your blog.

You make me smile the way you weave the islands into every lesson. I remember wiki wiki mopeds from the '70s.
