About..
This blog is a space for me to share some ideas, thoughts, and feedback…from a librarian’s point of view.
I’ve been lurking the blogosphere thanks to Bloglines and leaving comments everywhere I go, so it’s time I had a place to store all my correspondence and join in the fun!
Like most people I’m interested in blogs, rss, social bookmarks, wiki’s, etc..so I’ll use this site to ask questions and discuss ideas about these topics and wishlist features.
My special interest is in current awareness tools (alert services, monitoring, clipping, newsmastering), also in following blog conversations…my first attempt at presenting this type of service is on a blog: ACNM library - what’s new!
By following the blogosphere I feel I have learnt so much about my topics of interest (I’ve learnt all these new skills from people that don’t even know I exist)…although it’s so fast paced with new developments everday that it’s sometimes hard to absorb. It’s so amazing how fast it is to share and communicate thoughts and ideas via blogs and rss, more than any other form of scholarly communication (ie. quality blogs) or media…
…there are no third parties or authorities, the power has come back to the people.
I feel once we have perfected, to a certain extent, personal publishing, information overload, and social networks that we can move on at large and use this technology to spread constructive disscussion about important and universal topics such as our earth, people, corporations, government, media, environment, etc…
…can blogs and rss save our planet!

oh, by the way where are you library-ing? … i’m involved in a little community library, atwater library in Montreal trying to do some cool things on topics of interest to you. starting small, no budget etc, but getting great response from the hacker community that seems exciting.
cheers, Hugh.

Somewhere on your blog you had this article where there was an RSS button that had a pop-up menu that featured a list of online aggregators. Can you tell me where that is?

Hi there, I was looking for your contact info but could not find it. Just wanted to let you know that we released a new version of www.blinklist.com. You did a nice profile on us when we first launched a long time ago. Just thought you might like to check out the site and the changes. It would be great to hear your thoughts on what we have been up to. Mike

Hey there… I don’t quite know where to put this… I just wrote a (colossal) post concerning the merits of tags versus that of categories. I wonder if you or your readers would be interested in reading my post:

Anyway, thanks for an exceptionally well-written and informative blog!
Blog on!

“…can blogs and rss save our planet!”
Hi, you asked a very important question, full of promise and hope.
My 2 cents: certainly, RSS can create useful quasi-real-time links between those who have valuable knowledge to share, and those who need the knowledge to act more effectively to advance worthwhile causes.
Somehow, I feel the missing ingredient to make all these Web 2.0 developments / innovations really effective in helping to “save our planet” as you put it, is strong leadership — which can only come from knowing what a true man, or true woman, really is.
I’m just concerned we’re so excited about Web 2.0 that we may have forgotten the “other unfinished project”: Man 0.6.1
Regards,
Peter

Which Is More Important: Technology Or Community?
That is the interesting question that Mike, over at Techdirt, has been asking a couple of days ago when talking about two corporate giants like Google and Yahoo! and where they are actually focusing their own strengths. According to Mike,…
