Okay, I've finished Week 6, Things 13, 14, 15. . .I joined Delicious and bookmarked a few things. I explored Technorati but I decided not to "claim" my blog at this time. Quite frankly, I'm a bit overwhelmed and do not want to be inundated with too much. . .I was not particularly impressed with the most popular tags in Technorati.

I can see how it might be very valuable if you take the time to find specific tags/blogs of interest and attempt to keep up with them. But at this point, I just don't want to take the time to search for items of interest. I have found that it is far too easy to get sucked into spending hours on such stuff, which is not the purpose here, I think.

I really enjoyed reading the Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 (Thing 15 I think) and read through several pages of perspectives from various individuals. I think the library world (even here in the Midwest) needs to be ready and open to huge changes in the next few years -- of what is possible and, more importantly, what is going to be expected from us by our customers!
