Wikis

Wikis, I think, are a very useful tool for sharing information. Interested groups of people are able to collaborate on a project, even though they may live in another state or country, without leaving their desk.

A useful tool for information sharing amongst professionals.

In libraries information and ideas can be shared. The Local History or Corporate Libraries would find a wiki useful to share information amongst library staff and customers.

What about a wiki for an online book club?

Wikis are easy to use and a great tool to share information.

Shoeburyness Beach Essex, leigh on Sea, Southend on Sea

This is the beach my family and I swam at during the summer months in England. It is a far cry from the beautiful pristine beaches of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. The beach was very rocky and I used to wear plimsolls so that I wouldn't cut my feet open.

This picture does bring back fond memories of my time as a young child living in Southend-on-Sea.
