Wiki, Wiki, Wiki (just like saying it)

I'm having a delayed reaction because I attended Karen's Wiki Workshop weeks ago but wanted to reflect on a few things. First, the workshop was great. It was informative, clearly presented, easy to follow and overall an enjoyable experience. Because I was a novice, I was happy that I was following along in the workshop rather smoothly and I remember showing off the Wiki I had created to my friend Farryl at the end. I had created a Book Club where friends of mine could make suggestions on a book to read and we could use the Wiki to correspond about the chosen book. I remember thinking "this will be great". We always talked about creating a book club and this will be cool! So I sent out the invitations and people joined as members so I was psyched. Then I waited and would check periodically for added comments, book suggestions, anything. Nothing happened. I kind of forgot about it, but was just perusing my Delicious bookmarks and saw the link to my Wikispace. There was still nothing :(. So, I'm not sure where I went wrong. Maybe my friends are novice to the whole Wiki thing too and were scared off. Maybe I wasn't assertive enough in my Wiki follow-up. I'm definitely not giving up on Wikis and I hope Wikis don't give up on me!
