web 2.0

Five Years ago when I graduated with my MLS, web 2.0 didn't exist. But as technology has changed so must libraries in order to be relevant.
I liked this article from other resources from Wikipedia article: http://www.blyberg.net/2006/01/09/11-reasons-why-library-20-exists-and-matters/
"Library 2.0 simply means making your library’s space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and driven by community needs. Examples of where to start include blogs, gaming nights for teens, and collaborative photo sites (flckr). The basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library relevant to what they want and need in their daily lives…to make the library a destination and not an afterthought.”

Technorati Tags

I looked at the website: Geeks On Tour. Yes I did see the Posts about which tagged or as I like to say cross referenced the subject to the web. Once you select the link then it send you to the correct site!
I couldn't post a tag but I did see other participants blog sites and noticed how they posted their tags.

Rollyo

I created an account in Rollyo. my search was for Eric Clapton. You can see the results through this link. Again this seems like a bit of a cataloging tool collecting the different databases.
Here is the link:

delicios.com exercise

Interesting to see how words are linked with tags. I couldn't open an account due to technical difficulties. However I did use the website: http://delicious.com/tag/
Tag Cloud: Popular. Popular subjects were listed. When I clicked on one for example Art it brought up blogs from people who created a Delic.ios account. The tags listed were words that were related to the the topic. I would call these synonyms. And of course they have hyperlinks underneath them. Every word follows a pattern to the next.

#9 Anything technology related

I have learned a lot about blogging. I have also experimented on my own with flikr. I have tried to use some flikr pictures and incorporate them into my Jewish genealogy presentation.
There certainly is huge amount of websites and tools that are being created every day!

Exercise Correction

It seems that the Exercise numbers when they are complete don't match the drop down menu:
I have completed the following :1-4,5 and 6 see comments regarding RSS feeds. All flickr exercises.
I should be beginning Exercise 9.
I will continue to go back to RSS Feeds.

Exercise 6

Please see my trading card. I saved the image on to my E drive and then uploaded it. I uploaded 3 but only one came out.

Exercis #6

Montager- Very interesting layout of millions of pictures. I entered van gough and a whole sea of pictures came on!. Some including the subject others not.
Love Montager and flickr Purple petals pictures.

Exercise #6

Tried the links for Trader market but the links were disabled or didn't work. I typed in through google the Trader Market. I was able to use the map feature. http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/deck.php
I chose the colors that I wanted the map to look like. And what section of the world that I wanted to include on the map.
The next question was for me to highlight the states that I visited. You can see my map at the link posted above.
As you can see I am not a traveler.
