Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website. As far as personal use is concerned, I prefer to just use my Google bookmarks, but I think that del.icio.us could be really helpful in a library. I could bookmark websites that I think would be helpful to my students, and they could access them easily there. It's also something that I could teach them for their own use. They could easily create a network for group projects, and then bookmark websites that they need to use. All of that information would be available to the whole group that way on any computer.
Technorati is a website that searches through blogs. You can choose to search through blogs or blog postings, and each one gives you different results. I think this website is awesome. There is so much information out there in the form of blogs, and this website helps us to find blogs with the information that we need. It also has a list of influential blogs, which we may not know about. Most of the blogs seem to be about entertainment, technology, politics, and business. There is definitely room for expansion with blogs about science and autos.
Library 2.0 is a modern form of library service. It is increasingly user-centered and uses technology much more. I think that it is a great idea because the world is changing and we need to be willing to change along with it. If we aren't willing to adapt to our users, we will become irrelevant. There are great things happening with technology, and we can better our services by using technology more.
