Wiki's

As always the danger of Wiki's is that not everyone knows what they're talking about and the site can't be monitored continuously. It's a great way to find information, especially when it's pop culture info, but it's dangerous to rely on for correctness.

Library 2.0

People like labels. So if Library 2.0 helps you conceptualize a new version of the old system, that's fine. But really all the whole 2.0 business is really about is adapting to change. The world is changing faster than ever, and government is notorious for moving slowly, so is it a surprise that people need a "thing" to embrace in order to move forward? Like my magazine cover says, catching up to the 90's.

Technorati

I took a look at the top ten searches on technorati and it's really sad to me that two of them are Antonella Barba and Paris Hilton. Then there's Richard Jeni, who just killed himself. People are so sad.

Thing 13: Tagging, folksomonies & social bookmarking in Del.icio.us

It's an interesting option. But for people like me this sort of thing is not all that necessary. I know how to find these things anyway. I guess it's good to have one more way to do it.

Rollyo

I've covered this one already. Google rules. Rollyo = feeble competitor.

Library thing

Library thing is cool, especially for people like me who can't even guess how many books they have. I donated something like 6 30 gallon trash bags full of books when I moved because there wasn't going to be room for them in my new house. So I'd love to get all that in there. But it would take too long, so I probably won't. What was interesting was to see how many people had the same books I did. My rarest book still had other people listed as having it.

Thing 10

Isn't thing 10 basically the same as thing 6? I mean, part of thing 6 is thing 10, so what is thing 10 doing here?
