Peas in a podcast

The link to the yahoo explanation of podcasts didn't work for me. Was this a cunning ploy to make sure I do it I ask myself. If so, it didn't work. Ha ha ha. Found some interesting sites to which I would have expected the SLT filter to have stopped access. Good to see they snuck through as in my professional opinion, filtering sucks. I expect that there will be mountains of useful and challenging, thought provoking stuff available through podcasts but unfortunately I think I am hitting the technological overload stage. The web should be limited to one new technological innovation each six months. I managed to link to the RSS feed from my Google Reader even though I am drowning in a sea of stuff....BUT - the end is in sight!!

ROLLMEOVER IN THE CLOVER....
Rollyo hey? Seems to me to be an extremely limited version of google or some other search engine. An interesting (a word to be used when trying not to praise) and clever little tool but I can't see that it would ever be of use to me. I do have a pretty limited outlook on life though.

TAKING THE WIKI
Like the vast majority I have heard of and am familiar with Wikipedia but hadn't realised the range of other wikis out there. Both the Booklover's wiki and the Best Practices for Library Services wiki were the two that most interested and impressed me. Best Practices seems very broad ranging and I can see a use for Booklover's for public libraries wishing to connect more with their users.

LIBRARY2.0

It was useful to finally find a definition of what is meant by library2.0 AND to realise that we are actually showing some elements of being a library2.0 library. It was also a practical use of de.lici.ous to track down some library2.0 articles. I think writely can be a useful tool for staff geographically distant.

Del.icio.us

While I found Facebook interesting and fun, Del.icio.us both interesting and extraordinarily attractive to a librarian's ordered mind. Free word subject indexing is great. Who needs cataloguers? It could be a very useful tool for city librarians to share. Top marks.
