Not as much fun as a real sandbox but then nothing ever is in cyberland.
wiki's. They sound great but I have a few concerns eg. who will be changing what, will we know who changed what, will the changer be publicly led around by a cyber scolds bridle if others don't agree with what they wikied.
Now for the positives updating lists of authors, people who write like, helping book lovers communicating. Its all got to be good.

Web 2.0, Library 2.0

Web 2.0 to me means the adaption of the internet to a more personal environment rather than the internet being about work and play. The future will mean most people will have a blog which is updated on a regular basis. The Library where I work I can see a lot of people being left behind as they have no interest at all in having the internet on a more personal level and revealing to the world on a blog about their lives and families.

Technorati

I found Technorati good for finding blogs that interest me. I found the advanced search more useful because it scanned out the more commercial blogs and the advanced search had more of the basic blogs with peoples queries and answers rather than big technical jargon you may find on more commercial blogs.

Del.icio.us

So this week I was looking forward to reading Delicious Magazine however this weeks task has nothing to do with great food. I saved a few tags in my Del.icio.us. Sites that I look at for work on a regular basis.

RSS= Really Silly Shazza

Guess what? RSS Feeds doesn't mean really silly shazza. You learn something new everyday and today I jumped into the world of RSS Feeds. What does it stand for? Well I am glad you asked. RSS = Really Simple Syndication. It simply means frequently updated information is easily accesible via your blog such as updated news. I subscribed to a few "work related" RSS Feeds such as ABC books, DVD'S and news updates and then I threw in a few I am more interested in such as the radio station I listen to which is BBC Radio One.

Technophobe

Technophobe no its not a dislike of techno muisc. I infact love it. Technophobe bascially means scared of technology. I guess I am forced to use technology through work and life and once I adapt I become comfortable with it.

It seems it was only a few years ago that a phone call from overseas from a relo or mate, was rare, quite expensive and could only be done on a landline phone. Last saturday night at 4 am on the balconey of a nightclub I recieved a call from a mate on my mobile and he is in Paris.

No doubt in a few weeks after a few drinks I will call him and sure I will grumble about the bill but we can keep in touch and all with a little device that fits in my pocket.

A spare 5 minutes.

So I set aside 5 spare minutes to check out the "more flickr fun" Well its now been 55 minutes and I am still on the sites. I think my favorite is the graffiti. I cant even draw a straight line and yet here people with spray cans can do the most amazing things to blank walls.

The flickr color pickr could keep me amused for hours the more I see the more I want to explore I am loving changing the colours.
