delicious wikis

I've now checked out delicious and wikis. I understand them better than I did before and think that they both make sense. I can hear all of the people who don't know about these tools (or everyone, before such tools existed) saying, "Wouldn't it be great if there were some way that...?" What I need to do now is to block out time to set up some of these applications in ways and for purposes that will be helpful for me. I am still somewhat ambivalent as to whether time saving organizational tools on the computer will in fact save me time and keep me more organized or will somehow cause me to feel more pressed for time and less on top of things. But these are two applications that I'm happy to check out.

PS- I just spell-checked my post and the computer flagged "wiki," which makes me think that it has yet to go completely mainstream. Then again, Word flagged "jello" earlier this week when I zipped off an email in response to Jennifer's email that she was working toward graduating from eating jello, so apparently computers are oblivious to can't-live-without items that are both new and old.
