Thing 15 Perspectives on Web 2.0

For Thing 15, I read 'Into a new world of librarianship' - Librarian 2.0. Creative ways to make libraries more user-centric. Users help define and plan services based on their needs.

Also read 'To more powerful ways to cooperate.' To me the most important part was 'harnessing collective intelligence,' especially in building a more useful WorldCat and allowing everyone to contribute to the cooperative.

Technorati

Thing 14 - It is amazing to me the myriad of things people blog about. Having never been a diary or journal person, I sometimes just shake my head. Tagging can certainly quickly help you find what other people or news sites are saying about a topic you are interested in.
