Wiki Wiki Wiki...as much fun to say as they are to browse! Wikis are cool, and when used for appropriate projects, they're an invigorating, interactive paradise. They accommodate anonymity and encourage dialogue and discovery. I think they work well for subject guides, but are especially powerful showcases for reader advisory and conference experiences.
The Princeton BookLovers wiki fed a near-universal curiosity--the desire to peek into another reader's bookbag. Viewing the wiki is like walking up and down the checkout line, querying each customer "Hmm...why did you choose that one?" Who hasn't wanted to do that? Or on the flip side, who hasn't encountered the customer who's bursting to tell someone about the book they just returned?
