Wiki and Wetpaint
Wiki is a Web 2.0 technology. It is easy to use and popular, but not everyone wants to join it. You can create your own Wiki website via the Wetpaint and share the idea with people who have the same interest on a particular topic or subject. It is like a social place for discussion in the virtual environment. A virtual forum for those who discuss the things that they have passion on.
Some public libraries use wiki to create a virtual social environment for library patrons to give feedbacks to their library services, a forum for them to express their concerns or to develop an online bookclub. Many coporation use wiki as a staff discussion board or forum.
Sharepoint
Sharepoint 2007 is another kind of Web 2.0 technology for staff intranet in an organisation. It is similar to wikis and seems to take over wiki at some corporation or organisation for large project team meetings in the virtual environment. Different teams can post their discussion on their webpage for their own team and for other teams. Team members from different teams can have the access to other teams' webpages to leave message and request other teams to act on a specific task.
Web 2.0 is really cool for library if library patrons use it for their discussion regarding the community and their learning.
