#16 Wikki

Using Wikki for book reviews is a great idea-however much of this work seems to be quite time consuming and more suitable for use at home. My major concern with Wikkis is that the information may not be accurate - students would need to be acutely aware of this when researching for assignments.

#15 Library2.0

Wow- now this I did find exciting. I particularly enjoyed reading the "Away from Icebergs" article especially the 1st point-"the just in case collection". After many years adhering to this way of thinking I have over the past 6-7 years felt that we need to take a different approach to our collections.The article "to a temporary place in time" raised some issues regarding the community service aspect which is particularly relevant to the future direction of our library service. Great stuff.

#14 Technorati

I found Technorati dull and boring and didn't feel like wasting time exploring it further

#13 tags and del-icio-us


Have had a bit of an explore-set up accounts and hope they will work when I try again tomorrow- think I may just be getting the hang of all this!
This is what I really call delicious!

#12Rollyo


No idea if I have done this "thing" correctly or if I'll even be able to find it again- I think I am getting worse at this stuff yet spending more time trying to understand it all! `At least I am impressing the kids with words like "blog" and "mash-up"!

I hope that this will count as my Image Generator! I just love air guitars after hearing that one has been offered for sale on Ebay- and some sorry soul has offered $13 for it already!!!!

#11 LibraryThing


The "thing" I like most about LibraryThing is the ability to give me another huge list of books I might like to read-will save heaps of time looking through new book lists etc. and give me more time to READ- together with Flickr the best thing about blogging for me so far
