Everything seems to be going digital. I can see how it appeals to people because it is grapic based and you can become interactve with whatever you are interested in. Gone are the days when we photocopied information posted letters and printed photographs to share with family and friends. Now it has become so much easie. Communication is 'instant' with discussions on blogs, the availability of news updates and other interesting web sites using these social tools.
The future for libraries is exciting as more and more customers will go online and blog their thoughts and interests. Libraries will be expected to provide exciting social networks . I guess the downside could be privacy issues with Web 2.0
Del.cio.us
This is a very useful site. I searched for Genealogy and found several links. A great advantage with this site is the fact that you can share with family (and other interested folk) genealogy web pages rather than having to email address links all the time, and being able to tag them will save a lot of time.
I have added several tags http://del.icio.us/shelfpatrol
The video on youtube explaining this site had very easy to understand instructions and with my slow dial-up computer at home I had to keep re-starting the video to get the whole thing downloaded so obviously saw it several times.
I read Yarra Plenty Library blog and saw the different things they have at Yarra library... Backyard poultry... now there's something different.Seems quite a few librarians from all parts of the globe are venturing into Web 2.0
Technorati
I found this interesting blog about techno stuff http://www.technorati.com/blogs/www.readwriteweb.com when I searched technorati for Web 2.0 ...wow! so many hits. I added the graph which shows how many posts use web 2.0.
Technorati had several interesting blogs that I looked at but after looking at Del.cio.us I decided it was a more interesting site then technorati
