I watched the Wikis In Plain English video. After having seen a couple of videos by this guy, I really like his style of explaining complex ideas in the manner he does!
I looked through many of the Wiki's linked to the Web 2.0 Blog (the IS wiki, the building projects wiki, etc).
I once made a wiki (just to try it out) and created one that contained links to sites I wanted to remember (think: Deli.cio.us but a page for each topical area). After starting it, I never really stuck with it.
Way back when, when I had initially heard of them, I though "it's crazy, anyone can edit them? How can you trust the information you find there?" However, I've since learned that there are limits to who can edit some wikis, and that as a collaborative tool, they're actually pretty darn neat.
Personally, I frequently use wikipedia to either get some base knowledge on a topic I know nothing about (and don't care much about the quality of the data).
