Week 9
Wikis! So I started editing Wikipedia some time this year and it is fun. Normally I edit entries about Broadway musicals because that's what I like, but occasionally I edit other things. My mom is also doing Project Play (her blog is Lakeview Review) and she set up a family wiki for us for her assignment this week. That was exciting both because I could piggy back on her assignment and because it's been fun to edit and update information about our Thanksgiving celebration. I love the concept of wikis and always rely on Wikipedia for all the latest pop culture news. If I ever have to know who got kicked off American Idol last night, Wikipedia is always the first place I check. I also like Stephen Colbert's Truthiness Encyclopedia titled Wikiality which he developed after a controversy in which he told his viewers to edit the Wikipedia entry on elephants to distort their population. He wasn't welcome at Wikipedia after that :) So yeah, wikis are fun and having a family wiki so far is really fun.
