[Update: I forgot, dumb me, to link to the original post. Fixed.]
In a Slashdot posting read this a.m., entitled “Why Everyone Loves Apple,” I found some words that I think are very relevant to libraries, technology, debates about Library 2.0, Web 2.0, you name it. Here is the particular sentence I found to be so [...]

I’ve pointed several times to the You’re It! blog because there is a lot of useful information to be found there about tagging in a context that is much broader than the library world.  (In fact, I have yet to see or recall any mention of libraries so far in what has been written there.)
Today [...]

UKSG, sister organization of (and somewhat of a foster parent to) NASIG, announced today that they are adding something new to the mix for their upcoming conference and exhibition:  LiveSerials, a blog which will provide up-to-the-minute reports from conference sessions.  This year’s UKSG conference and exhibition will be held next week, April 3-5, at the [...]

What is a  ‘lametard’? Not sure, but I must be one. I was reading a  posting about MySpace just now and the blogger’s thesis was that if you don’t "get" MySpace, then you are missing something big.  Something bigger than the blogosphere, even.  ‘Course I’ve heard of MySpace, but right now I’m in the head [...]

I was thinking today, after reading through the many different reports about the recently concluded Computers in Libraries conference, that after having read all of them, I feel as if I did not miss much by not attending.  This is something new, I think.  Lorcan Dempsey phrases the phenomenon in a much more cerebral way [...]

I was reading Meredith Farkas’s report from the Computers in Libraries conference and spotted a criticism of MPOW.  She writes:

"Other vendors send salespeople to conferences who don’t know their products. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense! Question: would I dislike [MPOW] any less if they had someone cool going out and speaking [...]

So far, nothing of any note has occured today. Most of the time that is the way I like it because I feel the need for down time from a hectic work week. Today, however, I’m feeling rather antsy and, as usual, so are Michele, Keegan, and the other kids. Rather than [...]

Via the Mashable! blog comes word of yet another new Web 2.0 application, called Mobber. The idea for this is to enable you to see who is on a particular webpage, and to chat with that person or persons in real time. Could this kind of service be used in libraries to more [...]

Today I found an interesting post via Pubsub, written by an ex-librarian, discussing the role of the online catalog for libraries in the (near) future. Basically he posits that the online catalog IS the library, and goes on to describe ways in which that promise or ideal can be reached. These include combining [...]
