Thoughts on Web 2.0 Perspectives

Thank God for computer technology and libraries. Changes in the way libraries collect and disseminate information and books are happening at record paces. Rick Anderson in his article "Away from the 'icebergs'" notes that "it no longer makes sense to collect information products as if they were hard to get. They aren't. In fact, it may no longer make sense to 'collect' in the traditional sense at all." The statement that information products are not hard to get is true, but many computer illiterate and computer avoiders want to be able to browse an eclectic collection. (I meet many patrons like this on a weekly basis). What do we do for them if we reduce the collection? (For my family and I, visits to the library are social highly visual events and yet we have four computers in my home and a network of hi speed internet).
Sometimes change is hard.

Web 2.0 Awards

The Craigslist is one of my favorite websites. It makes sense that it is an awarding winning site. I think of it as the classifies for the United States of America and some major countries. Just choose the city, state, or country that you are interested in finding housing, transportation, free giveaways, employment opportunities, etc and lo and behold all kinds of vital information appears. The positive of this website - one may find current opportunities and the negative is one may find that a lot of the information is no longer valid. At any rate, if you have a need for any time of classified item, the craigslist is a good place to start. Gosh, I remember when it was only on hard copy.

Sandbox Entry

Going to Rita's Italian Ice for strawberry, kiwi-strawberry or watermelon italian ice on a hot scorching summer day is one of my favorite pasttimes.

The taste, the texture, the color and the temperature of the italian ice is remarkable, excellent and fortifying. After consuming this delicacy, my mouth, tongue, chest and abdomen feels cool. I don't need to be in an airconditioned room. I don't have any worries. All is well. I keep my frequent buyer cards in my wallet anticipating the next free italian ice. The whole family is hooked - This weekly excursion's expense is in the budget. We love Rita's.

Technorati

After looking at Technorati, I am now convinced that mankind is spending a great deal of time on their computers and that keeping a hard copy diary is out of date and may become obsolete. I did find the information interesting on Technorati. If I were to further explore any of the top favorite blogs of Technorati, my lists would include "Make Money Online Pro Blogger Blog Tips", "43 Folders", and "How to Change the World". And If were to continue to blog after 23 Things, I would add more tags to my entries.
