Thingy 15 - web 2.0

Oooh, I'm skipping out of order here. Web 2.0 is nothing new
to me, I've got the link to a blog/website that deals exclusively
with this topic, plus one of my early posts was a link to an article
"Web 2.0 is it Dead?" ... So this is something I've followed awhile.

I like the rehtoric, but I think that the practical implementation and
the actual implications of rolling out this techology may make the
central authority types very very nervous indeed. For in its simplest
self, it ceeds much power and control to the lower ranks.... it equalizes
the footing if you will. Now, you *have* to trust and back up your
staff... and you have to encourage innovation in the ranks.

For progressive organizations, this won't be a problem, rather a blessing.
For those organizations where the cultures don't embrace and
or permit the full implementation of the technology, there will be problems....

Ultimately, it will be very interesting to see the way in which this develops,
and the service enhancements that arise out of.

See my link under "fave links" to the Web 2.0 site...worth a look.

Thingy 13 - tagging

Okay. I can see the benefits of tagging to some people.
I mean, if you have lots of things you are interested in or
tracking, then this might be of use.

For me personally, this is not a useful feature. I
use very few sites, and basically when I *do* want something
I use a search engine to locate it.

I don't book mark in Explorer either...

So, for me tagging has very little purpose or use.

That said, like alot of these sites and exercises,
it was fun to play with!

Thingy 12 Rollyo

hum.. not so sure I understand what I'm doing here,
but I think I just put the rollyo searchroll (or what
ever they call it) into my blog.

Um.. yep. There it is, atop little ole Miew Miew the
Magnificent's picture...

So, mission successful! Although, really I must
go back and play somemore....

Thingy 11 - Library Thing - My Catalog!

You would think being a librarian, my house would
be full of books. And this is true, LOL.

However, what need do I have to have them *cataloged*
for goodness sake? That seems, speaking off the cuff, a trifle too
obsessively organized...

Besides, my books don't reside neatly on shelves.
They decorate and occupy the many nooks
and cranies of my house.

One might say, the books have licence to roam!!
