Wikis - have set up a load of sites in googlesites and have started pondering developing one of them. I need more time to find out more about what you can do. But the world is our oyster... any subject, any passion, anytime, anywhere... (ahem, getting carried away).
Sustainability... that question again: it has to be something that you can develop and that will continue to be interesting to you and your audience - something bigger than a blog theme maybe ... put details on for example, how to crochet (that again!) and then have a tie-in blog about your own experiences of not being able to crochet... (I prefer knitting!). Then twitter about it with friends! etc etc.
Letters, postcards, telephones... who needs em.
A wiki for work and education... (much overlap here...) when I first started we were asked to create a "manual" to show how various processes in the office were done. It never got off the ground. A wiki for this would be fabulous as people could easily create and share pages, update them, access them and make it eye-catching and enjoyable. I might suggest it!
For education, I am sure that this would be a more versatile tool to use than WebCT, for course tutors to set up wikis on their modules or research passions, and to add links, blogs, comments, etc ...! The only thing now is to get these things started and not to keep on with the old tired ways...!
My blog entries are too waffley!

I think the big problem with Twitter is that you've actually got to have the site open to recieve Tweets - it's not very user-friendly in that way. There is an iGoogle plug-in which is pretty useful, certainly an improvement. You can also Twitter via mobile phone, which, frankly, I haven't tried because I would be peeved if my money went to one of the phone companies...
Some great thoughts about wikis here - might be a good solution, as you say, for departmental handbooks, which has certainly been an ongoing issue in the short time I've been here.
And I have to say, these are the first waffles I've seen since reading your delightful blog :-)
