Had a good exploration of a number of Wiki's. Got sidetracked by a community Wiki for a place called Davis in California. Quite fascinating. Lots of interesting facts and information about the place, such as "good study spots", "events", restaurants and cafes with reviews, and the history of Davis. There is a tab labeled "people" and under this people have added interesting (and not so interesting) facts about themselves and photos. The various animals of Davis even have their own entries! There is a guy who goes around the streets dressed in a tarzan outfit, and the wiki contains information and a photo of him in his outfit.
The privacy issue keeps coming up for me though. One inhabitant's entry contains pics of herself, the name of the person she is married to, and a link to where she works (with phone numbers). Maybe I am being a bit of a fuddy duddy, but that information now is out there in Internet world. ..and it worries me a bit.
