DUNE #11?

maybe my favorite book isn't in cruzcat?

nevermind side note,

Dune, so here we go to read about worms.

In cruzcat it only says Dune - fiction

Where in librarythings has many tags, including the importance of the different ones. I feel like it is a very effective way of doing things until you need something that is not heavily used. Compare like this: wikipedia has articles on lots of stuff, but super obscure things it has nothing. Just like librarythings, will have 99.9 % of stuff, but cruzcat will have some stuff that it doesn't. although i bet librarythings has lots of stuff cruzcat doesn't.

This is fun for library stuff. MORE READING.

pingomatic

excercise in ugh. It didnt like me after I did it yesterday. I was able to get my site up on technocrati though.

The rest of the pings were so so in their effectiveness. I think what would work better although maybe this is a circular thing, would just be to really fill it out with content and gather audience old fashioned way.

though that wouldnt' be 2.0

Other thoughts: sleep is good.

Hey folks,

Its been awhile, but im back. and the bookmarking site deli cio us is a great site for web 2.0.

It will allow people to migrate from a single computer to a webbased desktop in re to bookmarks and networking.

I am all about this because it will allow a more streamlined situation where people can use multiple computers as opposed to being locked down on their individual machines.

I am not going to use it as of now, since I sit at one box already. but for all the people 15-25 woohoo, tehy will take my job away from me. lol.

Second Life

It seems like SL is a place for people to hang out and do stuff.

mostly for entertainment and socially but also for meeting likeminded professionals and doing library type stuff.

The videos and articles though....

I believe the articles should be more substantive or more academic, maybe using library online resources, like I did a search and found an article from the wilson web archive about it. Which seems more legitimate coming from an academic journal. my 2 cents.

the videos are all techno and stuff, which while nice to listen to for some, might not have a place in a brick and mortar library, and I would like to see some dryer content in vid's regarding virtual libraries.

myspace excercise

Im not really into it. Although going through the paces, it feels as though one could be opened up for identity theft or somesuch. For those who like the social networking online it seems like a fine place to be.

tutorial was good except for email verification which didnt work for me.
