WEEK 6 : 14 , 15 & 16

TAGGING , FOLKSONOMIES & TECHNORATI

I found this week a bit confusing.
However some information was interesting. The volume of "Blogging" is Mind boggling! Well in excess of 50 Billion (July 2006)
Tagging is useful in searching for blogs, either by keywords or "taggs" themselves.
Library 2.0 is an extension of Web 2.0 and the future pathway to continue meeting our communites fluid and evolving needs.
What are libraries? Libraries are not just collections of documents and books, they are conversations, they are convocations of people, ideas, and artifacts in dynamic exchange. Libraries are not merely in communities, they are communities: they preserve and promote community memories; they provide mentors not only for the exploration of stored memory, but also for the creation of new artifacts of memory. What was the library of the past? A symbol of a society
