Week 7 - No. 16 - Wikis

16. I had a look at all the Wikis that were linked from the learning 2.0 page. The Book Lovers Wiki produced by a library was the most interesting. It had reviews of books in genre catergories.

Week 6 - No. 15 - Perspectives on Library 2.0

I read all the articles on how web 2.0 may affect libraries in the future.

Week 6 - No. 14 - Technorati

Had a quick look around this site. Did not really want to tag my blog so it could come up in Technorati - my blog is not worth seeing by anybody else. I followed some of the popular tags to other blogs. The most popular blogs seem to be general blogs about anything and everything. Such as Boing Boing and Engadget. I did not find these at all interesting. The only blogs I would be interested in reading are specific ones about some subject that I wanted more information on or people's opinion on.

Week 6 - No. 13 - del.icio.us

I joined del.icio.us and posted five or six of my favourite sites. I did this by adding the post to del.icio.us icon onto the links part of the toolbar - this makes for very simple adding of sites. I followed the tags of the people who had posted the same sites as me to see if they had any interesting sites that I could add to my favourites

Week 5 - No. 12 - Play week : Rollyo

Rollyo (Roll your own search engine )creates search engines using the sources you trust. I set up a Rollyo list on movies, ratings, dvds, reviews, etc. I found this really simple to do - the hardest part was registering and being recognized as a user when I returned to look at what I have done
The link to my list is

Week 5 - No. 11 - Play Week : Library Thing

I joined LibraryThing and added five of my favourite books - I could not find the correct edition and cover picture for some of them. This is interesting but not something I would do in my spare time - some people have added around 14 thousand of their own books.
