Library Thing

Found this a bit confusing but I can't tell if that's just me being ignorant. I found these reveiws very interesting. http://ipac.slco.lib.ut.us/ipac20/ipac.jsp?index=ISBNEX&term=0307265439#focus

Wetpaint

I had a bit of a play around I looked at favourite receipes, music etc I found it easy to browse but I got a bit stuck with the so called Easy Edit button. Perhaps its just me after all its late and I'm tired anyway I did add a link to let you know that I WAS THERE but couldn't get it to go below the last entry. If I wanted to look for some nice receipe ideas as I love to cook I would diffinitely go to wetpaint again.

Wiki

I find Wikipedia really good although I do know that because anyone can add to it that some of the information might not be correct. I find myself using it for instance if a book comes into my hand as I'm checking it in and it's usually a biography or autobiography and I can't remember if the person is still alive, anyway I looked at the wiki on books and I thing that it would be a fantastic idea for the library to have a wiki on book reviews it's just finding someone who had the time to do it. I liked the reveiw for this book I have to say it made me giggle.
The title is 'The Dewey Decimal System of love' http://172.16.179.11/search/tdewey+decim/tdewey+decim/1,2,2,B/frameset&FF=tdewey+decimal+system+of+love&1,1,

Web 2.0 and its future in the Library

Even though I can't say that the computer is one of my favourite tools (except for doing a bit of shopping on Strawberry) I do feel that it is going to be the future for libraries. People seem to be constantly searching for knowledge and I have to admit that in some ways I think that being able to access that information so easily via the computer is a great thing. So many teenagers who don't have parents that are comfortable talking about some of lifes most important subjects can now find out for themselves the information that they need, some families still can't afford the luxury of having a home computer so this is where the library comes in. In the new world of technology the simple fact of libraries providing the community with a very important service (free computer use) is a really great thing.

Technorati

Well what a complicated web site I really didn't find this an easy site to browse through at all. I'd say that its a web tool that I myself would never use. I found this sentiment from a blogger on Technorati and I must admit that I feel that I would have to agree.http://www.technorati.com/posts/bBxiPKdHNKBo12ODAbIIwIZjD56EbD6eJ5ax9LqZlLg%3D
