#17 Wikis

I have located information on Wikis about authors and experiences interacting with them, liked the subject guide that Wetpaint refered us to. It was nice to be able to go directly to the books based on the topical selection. I was interested to see that one of the Wikis required you to register to "use" the Wiki ... I think this would be a little more secure way of keeping a Wiki accurate, and I do think it's a good idea if you have a Wiki to be able to do that! Many kids figure that anything on the Internet is accurate (sort of like their parents thinking that anything in print is factual), so although I do appreciate people being able to update information - it definitely is worth warning kids that what they find on a Wiki is someone's opinion - not always fact!
