Library 2.0

The trouble with Library 2.0 is that you can spend an awful lot of time moseying around the web following your fancy! And I am running a bit behind with my tasks and blog and really need to 'cut to the chase'.
Maybe we should have read the Library 2.0 stuff earlier although I guess that now we have encountered a number of the types of applications out there (albeit briefly at times) it now makes more sense.
I was amused that the Wikipedia entry for Library 2.0 had a box at the top warning users that it may need a cleanup to meet Wikipedia's standards. Are they having a go at we librarians??
I found Laura Cohen's academic blog interesting, particularly the posts on using sms and mobile phone technology as access points for libraries. It is something that I wish we had right now although I know that the cost for me to access the web from my own phone is astronomical. Hopefully, this part of the equation will be addressed by mobile phone service providers in the near future. I wish i could have gone a bit further with NYU's "Arch" to see how it worked. It is a pity Laura has retired although I guess there are many other thoughtful and thought-provoking librarians out there in cyberland.

Del.icio.us

Had some trouble with the background info relating to this exercise.
1. The us.ef.ul : beginners guide to del.icio.us did not match the screen I was faced with when I joined up.
2. Could not locate the 'several habits of wildly successful del.icio.us users' on slackermanager even with doing a search on 'delicious' and 'del.icio.us'. Perhaps to make it more obvious, the year and month of archive should be incuded?

I can see that if a del.icio.us network was set up, that could be useful for sharing websites. It could also be quite useful for various interest/working groups and probably quite helpful for students. I had a look at some of the 40 odd people who had a 'State Library of Tasmania' tag.
