Done and done! I have just had a look at the wiki and added my blog. I then created a page but don't know where it has gone. oops!

Wikis can be fun and informative. Although I hadn't looked myself, there was a wiki made for a recent tour I was involved with. Many people shared their thoughts and photos of the experience, which I am sure was lovely.
It might be nice for a group of friends to make a wiki that each could edit dependant on where they are, add photos etc (although that sounds like the functions of facebook) hmmm...

The wiki and the library...
Well, the Princeton book lovers wiki is a great wiki. Wikis like this can be set up for different age groups, and different areas of interest (although some vetting would be required for certain age groups). Also the pathfinder wiki seemed like a good idea...for ideas! And at least this was only able to be edited by librarians to ensure correct information. Perhaps a youth services type wiki, linking different teams, sharing ideas etc...I know there are similar type websites for teaching ESL overseas...

The future of libraries....Well I do hope there is a future or my current choice of study would just be a waste! I don't think it necessary to get too caught up in all of the new technologies and web2.0 developments, yes be aware of what's on offer and the possibilities available and take what works for the specific library and users.

Although.... it is nice to see the state library trying to encourage new users of all ages through gaming, and other interactive technologies, a place that was previously used only by older students, academics etc.

hmmmm. I am not sure if I have found the full potential of technorati at this stage....although I did find a cute blog Tokyo daily photo, and it seems there is another, Kyoto daily photo. So I will be kept up to date of these pics, and the library blog Adventures in a room with books.

Tagging bookmarking and del.icio.us mmm. Well yes, tagging is a handy feature. I am not generally a very organised person but this does seem like a nice way to organise your most used sites. oh, and the added bonus of del.icio.us enabling you to see what others may have bookmarked and tagged that might just be of interest to you. It seems that most people find interesting sites because other people have told them to take a look in the first place, well, someone surely had to find them first, but then the word gets out! So this is just another way to communicate and share online. What a happy little sharing space.

I seem to be all over the place with this blog...I guess it is a bit like me!
Anyway, rollyo...I am not sure if this is something I would really use myself...perhaps I have missed the point. Although I guess I could establish one which included eBay, trading post and the like to search for antiques/secondhand wares...or perhaps? hmm what else?? music sites perhaps? perhaps that could work!

Library thing is a great tool to showcase your taste in books and meet people with similar interest areas. It appears to be easy to use and also offers suggestions on what you might like to read based on your collection and apparent taste....which is something I could really use. I am constantly asking friends what they are reading, and if they think I might be interested in it. Good stuff!!
