Following instructions, I voted for one that I think has most ottenpial Wikis. I believe Wikis have the most ottenpial because, as Archives UK has demonstrated, you build and release the wiki and people will come. The thing is, I can also see circumstances where social networks would have the most impact, especially as Heidi alludes to above in a long arranger situation or an academic setting where all the students are using the Facebook platform. Heck, or even Orkut, if we are talking about Brazil. Personally, I'd like to see more archivists embrace podcasts and Internet broadcasting. That's a great way to get information about the collections out on the net. Or even something simple like a research question of the week kind of thing would be a great promotional tool for any archival institution. There's so much untapped material here, some of which already resides in collections and has been digitized. Just get it out there.
