I wonder how many others feel the same way.  I also wonder about how I can share all this cool stuff with other Computer Resource Specialists in our school system. 
(Discovery)  I had an idea to create a wiki to organize our new learning and to encourage others (and myself) to try new things.  Yesterday @javarich posted a math wiki created by Ken G. using http://www.wetpaint.com/.  My mouth started to water, my mind started to rev up, and my idea was born- Why not create a wiki to share all of this new digital learning? 
(Discovery) I created this – http://vbcpscrs.wetpaint.com/  Virginia Beach CRS (& Friends) Who’s on What? wiki.  I worked on this for the best part of an entire day.  If you want the day to fly by, just embark on a new online project!  Wow, did i wear my PJs all day?  (did i just admit that?)  So, right now I’m the only member of this wiki.  I hope others will join in and share… or will this be a Disaster?  I wonder if my wiki will make it.  I’m thinking that a wiki is like a new restaurant- some make it and most don’t.  Gotta wait and see.  Together we can make it a great resource!
My take on http://www.wetpaint.com/ wikis:
-Very, very, very easy and user friendly to set up
-Voki widget easy to embed
-Tables easier than wikispaces (just right click in table to modify)
-Not sure if I like the More Tools>”add attachment” feature for uploading docs, they show up all the way at the bottom
-Not a fan of the abundance of advertisement on margins
