Wikis are a really awesome way to help a group of people stay connected, whether it be a particular subject or just socially. I work for a church and every year we plan a youth choir tour. When I was trying to come up for an idea for my wiki, it hit me, this would be a great way to have parents and volunteers for the choir to post their thoughts and ideas about the trip. That way everyone has a say.
The advantage is a group of people can stay in contact with each other and they can be kept in one place. The only disadvantage I see is bad information. This has been my problem with Wikipedia. There is sometimes still bad or wrong information added to the site. The digital natives could help engage them because they can be created to help create discussion.
One of the Web 2.0 tools I liked was the one we used last week. Concept maps. I really thought they were a great way to take an idea and create a image to help connect the information.
Did you explore the website provided to see other web 2.0 tools?
