Apparently I've Been Tagged

Well I just noticed that I was tagged by Marci Dressler her blog link is http://marcidressler.wordpress.com/ So apparently I'm supposed to do this...
Here are the rules for Six Random Things:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Ok so Six random things about myself;
1) Well I hate talking about myself...
2) I love plants and my apartment is slowly being over taken by them.
3) I've never been to Canada, but I've backpacked throughout Europe.
4) I am very competitive and I hate loosing at any type of game, but I've gotten better (I don't hit people who beat me anymore).
5) I just held a Chihuahua a month ago for the first time and fell in love with the dog. Always thought I'd hate them, but it was like holding a little furry baby.
6) My Grandma gave me crazy Leopard print sheets for Christmas and I'm not sure I'll ever use them...not my style.

Now I guess I'm supposed to tag other people and make them do this too.

Well this is all I could come up with, it is hard trying to find people who haven't done it yet.

Wikis

Well I have to say after watching the video I got a little excited about how useful a wiki could be. Then I started looking at some actual wikis and I was a little disappointed. Many of the wikis that I saw just seemed like a weak version of a website. I looked at the Michigan Library's wiki http://mlcnet.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page and most of the information on it just seemed like the normal things anyone would find on a regular homepage. On the other hand I did come across a wiki that gives a tutorial about creating an online survey, which could be very handy http://trainingwiki.pbwiki.com/ (although it is 44 pages long!). I believe wikis have some great potential, but there also seems to be a lot of crap that people have to wade through to get to the good stuff.
