Library 2.0

Where do I begin? In one way the whole idea is rather mind boggling. On the other hand it seems a natural progression in today's world. Being a cataloger there is a part of me that screams out against letting an "outsider" have part in cataloging. I cringe to think that someone could sabotage our catalog. (Sureley there are some safeguards that I am not aware of?!) Yet there is only so much that an individual can do & know and allowing others to tag has the possiblity to give better access in not only knowledge but thought patterns.

Technorati

Once again this is all new to me. I'm discovering that there are whole other "worlds" out there. Technorati has it all there-- blogs, photos, videos.

Delicious

Delicious is a social bookmarking site which allows you to bookmark a web page and use tags to categorize your bookmarks. It is very easy to explore and assign tags, much like cataloging, to information that you find on the web. My account is here.

Rollyo

I found this to be another way to search the web. Since the Obama's are in search of a rather rare breed of dog, I did a search for the Portuguese Waterdog.

LibraryThing

This is a wonderful website for book lovers. What a nice convenient way to keep reading lists, as well as have book reviews, signings, & other information at hand.
My LibraryThing account is here if you click on the word account.

More about RSS

I've been exploring some of the different feeds available. I found Topix.net and Technorati.com familiar and comfortable to use. Syndic8.com didn't hit my fancy however-- not sure what it was but it just didn't "fit" right. After trying out these suggested feeds I tried good 'ol Internet Explorer and of course it is the easiest for me since that is what I usually use. It surprises me how easy it is to subscribe.
