Thing #15

I read a variety of blogs on Learning 2.0 and the library's future.
I particularly enjoyed the last one "To a Temporary Place in Time".
This blog seemed to really capture what's going on as the world of technology and libraries collide. Our world is changing so fast that our 2.0 world may soon seem archaic to the 3.0/4.0......realities. Information is a global, holistic experience and the days of focusing on books only is long past.
Very informative, enjoyed the far reaching perspective of future technologies.

Thing # 14 Technorati

I worked with Technorati and explored the differences in that, blogs, tags....I found Technorati to be very detailed and a comprehensive way to search online. I found using the tags a bit confusing at first but it made more sense as I went along. I registered with Technorati and may use this resource in the future.

Week 6- del.iciou.us

This week I explored the del.iciou.us site and learned how to use this for bookmarking websites and specific info. I registered with the site and now have my own link to this resource. It reminds me a lot of "my favorites" but with a lot more detail and capability. I can definitly see using this for research of any sort as well as 'casual bookmarking' of misx sites. I use 'my favs' a lot so this is just a more efficient way to save and sort info.
Very helpful!
