Expect to get answers both in the poll itself and in the comments, and run with both! Docs are like super-simple wikis, and probably the most truly collaborative aspect of a Facebook group.

Then onto pondering for a project to collect leads for professional nonprofit conferences and trying to figure out what will be easier for respondents - email reply or wiki. My brain is tired. Why bother?

I've been using online wikis - documents and more recently, spreadsheet wikis for the past year. Wikis are just great for that! Some folks just aren't comfortable with using wikis yet.

Sometimes I think I have an important post, but it does not get comments, so I don't know what people think (and if they even read it :)).

If you want people to be able to tag artifacts with keywords, comments, or ratings, you need a unique identifier for each artifact, a way for visitor submissions to populate a database, and automated programs for aggregation and display of visitor data. Many in-museum 2.0-style and visitor talk back. If you love it, you keep it. It's messy.
