I had thought about wikis before - but had never considered a public service like the police would use it! Good on them! Do you think we will see our parliamentarians asking us what we would like in legislation in the future? Surely they would like our opinions?
I can see all sorts of uses for this - providing we can get the IT support. We still cant access any of our blogs on the network, so I have my doubts about it. However, as it would only be one site, I'm sure we could accommodate it.
I loved the Star Wars wiki. We really need something which will capture everyone's imagination - something people will want to contribute to. This is the problem I find with work blogs - they need comments - otherwise they look pretty sad:(

RSS feeds
Hello,
Well I finally had time to do this! I have been using Yahoo for about a year - so decided to try Google - not sure about it yet. It certainly seems easier to add feeds - but I havent worked out yet how to delete one! It is so easy to subscribe - i managed to subscribe to one without meaning to! It's a fascinating little site: You know? That thing? Whatchamacallit - I'm not sure I want it there for posterity - i managed to subscribe to it whilst searching for the BBC news!
Anyway, my other feeds were more successful - i decided to search around and found some online books - there is some weird and wonderful stuff out there! Manybooks.net and New online books - i cant say I would recommend either - but they did lead me all over the place in my searching!
In the process, I discovered Fark and just had to subscribe - out of natural curiosity, or course...
And as I had already got ABC and SBS news on my Yahoo account - I subscribed to BBC World News.
I have to say over the time I have used Yahoo I have enjoyed having everything in one place and just dipping into what is happening out there.

Avro Vulcan on Flickr
I found this photo awesome! OK, I have been reading too many aeroplane magazines from the UK lately - particularly Fly Past - following the Vulcan to its first flight, for many years, late last year.
You can access Fly Past at this address: http://www.flypast.co.uk/
My first professional job in a library was at Lincoln city Library in the UK and I remember the place very fondly. It was also the place I started learning to skydive and was excellent for plane spotting, as it has so many air bases. On one occasion, the Vulcan flew very low up Lincoln High Street, setting off alarms all the way up as it went! I remember being awestruck by the size of it - and I still am. I am hoping to get a look at it later this year when I re visit Lincolnshire.
Here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stonefaction/66004967/
