Wikis (Thing #19)
Wikis seem great--you can create a website without needing any technical know-how, and unlike a blog, the content can be organized by subject rather than chronologically. They seem ideally suited for subject guides and could fashion as a reasonable intranet. They'd have a leg up on what we currently have in that they can be edited by anyone (within the limitations you set) and are accessible from anywhere. Based on the examples I saw, libraries are already making good use of them. The only things that bother me so far are that they seem uniformly ugly (is there a reason you can't choose from lovely templates as on blogger?) and somewhat awkward to navigate.

They should invent a Blogger for wikis - at least for the templates, etc.
PBWiki comes closest... maybe it will be a starting point.
(All the other wikis out there we looked at were WAY harder to use, but perhaps more customizable, you know - if you had all day...)
