week 6 task #14 & #15

technorati

I guess it's an incredibly brave move to try and tag or organise in any way the great 'soup' of blog posts out there - which probably explains why the 'blog post' search mechanism sends back some very broad and amorphous results! - it will be interesting to see if the specificity improves in time. Searching for whole blogs (rather than posts) and videos and photo's is useful, and reasonably easy to use.

perspectives on web 2.0 - I personally like the idea of 'giving them what they want' which seems to be a library 2.0 philosophy - and I can cope with the idea that the technology we harness will just 'morph' almost daily. We just need to get over the idea that we have to be 'in control' of everything. The trick will be remembering to accommodate those patrons who like the status quo as it is - and who want to get old-fashioned stuff like books!
