Slamming the boards

I guess slamming the boards is the way many young people will receive answers to questions but it is very impersonal and how do you analyse whether the answer is authoritative or not without further investigation. Given that we receive less reference queries in the library these days it is probably a good way to practise.

Tagging

I've managed to succeed with the delicious tags and I quite enjoyed this segment. I quite liked the Book Thing site. Cheers.

Embedding

My daughter assisted me with embedding which I was thankful for.

RETURN TO WIKI

I've finally returned to the Web 2.0 course after a year's break. I was interested in the book review and the wookipedia wiki sites because I can see the potential in those sites. Wikis enable everybody to contribute an opinion. I'm concerned about the work practice application whilst it encourages all staff to participate it could include wrong information.

Re RSS

Apparently, I have practised rss before as I had already subscribed to about 50 daily updates - so I reduced these subscriptions to a more manageable number.
