16th thing Wiki,Wiki
I looked at the different web sites given. I even searched & find a small one for the Eastern Shore. I liked the subject guides and thought they would be valuable to the library. The idea of having the patrons join in more library things & give their opinions seems very good. Having a wiki for reviews of books appealed to me. Seeing these ideas demonstrated would make all this info much more clear. In one of the sites there was talk of having the library provide a good structure for the Wikis. I think that is very necessary. One thing that bothered me was the fact that anyone could put info on the Wiki if it's false. Maybe you would need an Editor. I would like more information on any Wiki where people worked on the catalog records.

15th thing Second Life
I read the material and viewed several videos of second life. the first showed a man flying. The second one was of people dancing (that was called thriller)These people need to get a real life How about a real person to talk to. dance with, whatever.The virtual real estate seems futile to me. It wouldn't put a roof over your head.
Would Second Life be useful in the library. Not for me, but my grandson looks a pokomon( cards and tv) all the time so maybe his generation would. I can only hope not.

14th thing Library 2.0
It was interesting reading the changes that are expected to develop, but I have been going to the library since 1956 and I hate to have my cheese moved. However I know this must be done. I know that we have a lot of books that never get read and new technology is coming all the time. Also the idea of more information gotten from the patrons sounds workable. It sounds like we should be getting a full connextion with oclc for the sharing of records that was mentioned.
The new search from the North Carolina library looked good. Learning to do some of the special searching for the future sounds like a lot of classes for staff. I sure all the things will be wonderful, but gee I still listen to 50s music on the satellite radio.

Technorati 13
I explored searches through posts, blog and directory for "learning 2.0" on Technorati and they were all different. There were different hits on each category. The videocast would not play. This is a very popular site and it was surprising to see how many people make use of it. I got 13,393 hits on Elvis Presley through posts and 195 hits on the blogs.
