# 16 wikis

Wikis are neat but sometimes hard to let go of the control in which anyone can edit the wiki. If you are knowledgable of a subject and wish to gather other opinions or information a wiki is great. I would probably not use a wiki. I would read them and take the information with a grain of salt.

# 15 Perspectives on Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the Future

Libraries in the future... it makes me wonderful about our future, will our society use the library, will they physical go to the library or will the library be at our fingertips from our home or office. Library 2.0 to me wants to share information for each and every library, whether public, scholar, or business, into one huge pot. The ability to share all such information with anyone, anywhere at the touch of the keyboard sounds possible. OR will our society have to physical go to the library, will the internet just go down and the ability for humans to maintain it still be possible? What if sooo much information is in cyberspace that some day it just says "Nope not going to work anymore, sorry!" The age of technology, computers, and the internet could be gone forever. We may, hopefully not, someday have to go back to card catalogs. That is an awful thought, but could it happen, one never knows. In our day and time with terrorist and the weather you never know what could really happen in our future.

# 14 Technorati

What a way to find absolutely anything on the internet. By using tags to assist others in finding your blog is a quick and efficient way to narrow down the blogs you have to go through. I searched several tags and was amazed at how many blogs on the subjects there were. The quickness of locating the thousands of subject is wonderful. Technorati sure has their hands full in keeping up with technology.

# 13 Del.icio.us

Interesting tool that I would not use but it is good to know about. The link to the tutorial that was highly recommended did not work.

#12 Rollyo

Another account, another password, no thank you. Again it is fun to play and experience the website and learn about it but I would not like to have to remember yet another password, another site, another account. Computers are a wonderful tool to use but to have so many accounts. I will stick with knitting.

#11 LibraryThing and catalog

It is neat to play with and learn about the different things on the internet. I however have choosen to not add another sign in on another website that I will probably not revisit. It is good to know that they are out there but for me to sit and play with them online, I'd rather be knitting...

#10 Online image generator

One could spend an awful amount of time playing with the different generators that are online. I found out that my pirate name is Glitter Girl. Although that does not sound so pirate to me I guess it "matches" my personality? Okay onto #11
