I’ve been addicted to Wikipedia lately. No, the site is nothing new, but my addiction is. It’s like going to school again. I love it.
An interesting fact about Wikipedia: WNYC (my favorite radio station) did a story on it maybe six months ago, and interviewed the founders. While talking about what happens when erroneous information is posted, the founders said they recently did a study on how long the erroneous information stays up there before being corrected: on average, erroneous information only remains on the site for two minutes. Two minutes. That’s damn impressive.

wikiz rule! I did a good amount of researching wiki progs for a while and found a good standards based one, but as of yet I havent found a good use for it, so its on the shelf.
I constantly use the wordpress codex which is wiki powered (media wiki) and the best resource for wp out there.
dreamhost also got one going, which is better than its user forum by miles.
