Future

Myspace, blogs and wiki are popular and noticed. They can be a great tool, assuming they are updated and maintained and interesting. Several sites are old and boring, which is worse than not having anything up at all. Creativity is important, and librarians don't seem to have that attribute.

Found some interesting blogs using "learning 2.0" One guy couldn't find the keyword search for "tag" (which was in the advanced search), but I found his blog using all of the words in the blog search. However, this general search did bring up several blogs not related to Learning 2.0, just to learning in general. The tag search was most consistant in giving me the information I wanted about other people's view of Learning 2.0. My guess is that those who actually know how to use tags, also have the most information.

OK - finally found a way to get the information about Disneyland. Rollyo had some of the same sites as the others, but about the 4th hit, I found exactly what I was looking for. Guess blogs don't work as well as web sites for the kind of information I wanted.

Well, we are also going to Disneyland at the end of November, so I used every blog search for Disneyland dinner (looking for suggestions and comments). Even when I went to the advanced search in Technorati, I got so much junk that didn't have anything to do with dinner or Disney. I think people just put random words in their blogs so that others will read them, a big disappointment.

RSS

I have been following the blogs that I put into my feeds. It is a convenient way to check the sites every week or so to see if anything new has been posted. Some blogs obviously post more than others. One news posting I used deleted the entries after 5 days, but I'm guessing that it isn't NEW any more.

Del.icio.us

Did the Delicious thing - great idea, if you work at the same computer every, however, being a sub, I can't use the tool bar on "my" computer, since I work at a different work station each day. Will probably try this at home on my computer.

Library Thing

My book list is - http://www.librarything.com/catalog/marciar So far I've only listed Daniel Silva books. I really like the author, but am disappointed when I try "if you like..." lists. Maybe some of the suggestions such as The Faithful Spy, or David Hagberg's series staring Kirk McGarvey will satisfy.
