WEB 2.0 Award List

I checked out the games. Whew, I needed that! I was feeling a little bogged down by my blogging!

ZOHO Writer

I've set up an account there. Will probably go back and explore the possibilities at a later date.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

I think of a Wiki as a kind of new-tech soap box. Speaker's Corner of Hyde Park London has been around since 1872. (This is information I got from Wikipedia!) I think they are great and could be used by a library as a "voice of the people".

Del.icio.us

One day, when I retire to that cabin on a lake in Maine or that condo somewhere on the Atlantic coast, I will come back to Del.icio.us and organize every thought in my head and the heads of others. But right now...it ain't happenin'! I wish I was the kind of person who could jump right in, tagging as I go...but I think I should start with my bedroom closet!! The potential is great. Delicious, I'll get back to ya someday!

My Favorite Love Story

Well, my first "Rocky & Adrian" didn't make it to my blog, so I had to substitute this one. Rocky is one of my favorite movies. Bill Conti's music is fabulous and it is a classic story about pursuing your dream.

Where is it??

Well, I went to Youtube and spent tons of time looking at movies of everything from Gnomes to The Flaming Lips. I finally settled on a clip from one of my favorite movies, Rocky. The original, of course. The film clip also includes my favorite piece of music from the film. It's called First Date. Anyway, I wonder where it is. It's not here yet... Patience, Bronwyn, hopefully it will get to your blog soon!

It was 25 years ago today...(well, almost)


While checking out Merlin, I learned some interesting trivia. The first CD to be made rolled off the assembly line on August 17, 1982. It was Abba's The Visitors. I feel old!

Just read Rick Anderson's Away from the "icebergs". He hit the nail on the head, of course, with his idea to focus our efforts on "eliminating the barriers that exist between patrons and the information they need..."
