These were very interesting articles on the libraries of the future. It really made me aware of the changes on our doorstep, particularly the idea that collections may not grow physically, but electronically. Information is available from so many sources easily tapped by the public. What is the trick is that somehow this vast array of information needs to be tamed for practical library use.

Who has time for Technorati? Why would you want to spend time looking at pointless blogs? It would be like me calling random people in the phone book because their name sounds interesting. Blogging is a real phenomenon, but someone needs to look at the big picture and what impact blogs will eventually have on the world.

This seems to be a method of organizing online "clippings". This would drive me crazy, spending so much time organizing information when it seems it would be easier to tap that info when I need it. However, it does have some interesting links and if you had the time, it could be fun to pursue further.

Rollyo seems like a convoluted way to find or organize the websites you like. However, it seems like more work than it's worth.

The Library Thing is absolutely wonderful. A bibliophile's dream. Found all kinds of new stuff. Will definitely use this later.
