I've been using a wiki at work since January. Our branch (nine staff members) are ambivalent about using it. We're using UT Arlington's official wiki site, powered by Confluence. It is not nearly user-friendly. It is, however, very useful for collaborating on projects. I look forward to the day when it will be as easy to use as Wetpaint.
I had a great experience with Wetpaint, though I accidentally made "Usability" a subpage of "Cognitive Science." Oops! I can't see how to fix it. You can see my pages at http://dfw23things.wetpaint.com/page/C.D.
Wikis appear to have been very useful for creating collaborative works. As they become more powerful and more user-friendly, I believe they will be adopted by more work-spaces and individuals. (See Wiki Patterns for a fantastic example of how a wiki turned into a book, and then grew from it's original content into a truly magnificent site.
