I spent the last hour reading the latest blogs from the class and commenting on some, but I didn't say anything substantial, just letting you know I actually read it from time to time. It seems that everyone thinks that wiki is too maleable to be of any real use, or at least practical. In light of this, I think that I am going to change my blog account to something that supports wiki. I think the almost unlimited freedom to change or link, or add to anything would be a better way to go about this whole blog thing. I'm hoping that instead of having to post comments it would allow you to simply add on to what I've written, or create links on certain words, so that you don't have to go throught all the trouble to quote and I don't have to do too much navigating away from this page to view comments. I think that would allow it to be a lot more interactive. If anyone has any idea how I could do this, and if it works like I hope, let me know. I would be interested in giving it a try.
Aside from this, my friends have all moved to different parts of the country. We used to do a lot of writing, and general bs, with things we found amusing. Wiki seems like it would allow us to all access and change the same page however we see fit, to make our seperate arguments or comments. It also allows other interested parties, who may or may not be knowledgable in the subject, to add their comments as well. Sounds interesting, especially since all my friends sit on chat rooms for hours at a time, rotting their brains in pointless conversations. The connections could be endless and honestly, how many times have you read something and thought "They're full of shit. I wish I could rewrite this." Well, now you can.

Blogger allows multiple users to be "members" of a blog. I know that is different than what you're talking about, but I thought it might be a step in the right direction. I don't know if that allows people to edit what other people write on the blog, or just post to the same blog?
I'll play around and see what I can come up with. If I mess something up I'll just delete the account.
Thanks for the advice.

Your right a about a lot of things on wiki. But I think my problem with it is that I wouldn't be able to really reference wiki for research if I was doing a paper. Especially, since it is easy to change stuff on it and make it bias in other ways. But anywho... Just thought Id comment.
