Learning 2.0 SandBox wiki

Learning 2.0 SandBox wiki is cool!
I signed up a few days ago as I was invited to by someone. Back then, not knowing that this was part of the exercise- to add our blog's URL to the 'favourite blogs'.
It is so cool that we have our own sandbox where we can add little entries in the appropriate page.
During this, I accidentally added a quote in the fav recipe page and was shocked when I realised this- as I thought that we wouldn't be able to delete anything.
HOWEVER! Ta-da! deleting it was as simple as typing it in the first place.
Thanks to this, I could delete it before anyone read it :p
Another wonderful thing about sandbox is that we can add entries to an already existing entry.
I imagined it to be like all other sites where one entry would be on one page, another entry on the next page etc etc.

library wikis

What I found interesting was that library wikis had specific services to groups of people such as for the disabled, older adults, teens, poor and homeless, distance learners..and many more!
For the older adults, there is a programme to teach (train) about technology to those people.
As well as that, they also have a site called Info Eyes- where the disabled people can talk to librarians on live on the Internet!
I think having section with book reviews (public access to read and write) will be a great application for the libraries, as many people will use this application when they are in the library.
