No.17 PBWiki

hey, my blog is on the bottom of the list. can u see it?
easy to add, just copy & paste
http://acllearn.pbwiki.com/Favourite-blogs
but who's going to see it?

No.16 Wiki

some says, Wikis are a great way of collaboratively developing a website, but they are not suitable for every web-based project. While some websites might benefit from the insights of the community, others function better under tighter control. If you are looking to develop content that requires input from people outside of the library, a wiki is a the ideal tool to solicit that content.

I found wikis are a very useful informal tool, i have used it to explain quite a few puzzles already, such as slang.

there was once i couldn't sit in front of TV for the last 20 minutes of the last episode of my favourite soaps, guess what, I got it all from Wiki the following week! other sites can't do such detailed description.

it sounds like a free forum for all. but the school teachers don't advise their pupils to go to wiki, as it is too informal, it may give u wrong info.

No.15 library 2.0 and future

I went to those links, all of them, read them quickly, agree what they say about future generation, future library, etc. I also watched the video, though it stopped all the time, and I never managed to view from beginning to end, but I got its meaning : e is better than paper!

I agree, in many ways, but not all.

when i was in uni 20 yrs ago, a lot of talking about future world was already there, I still remember those very advanced ideas, something like we're going to live in a paperless world. so many years later, people still talk the same topic.

too much

talking about user training in the 2nd newsletter, i think we are training each other, discover more and more through seaching and learning.

No.14 Technorati

why it takes so long to open the page when searching under 'tags'?
the other 2 are fine: I got 10309 results under 'blog posts' and 828 under 'blog directory',
are these the difference? so far, i don't quite get the sense of technorati, who want to search all those blogs? why? is offical info not enough? why people want to see other's comments?
i have been to the 'popular blogs' sites, all directing me to 'boing boing' etc., yes, click those links, but none of them seems interesting to me. sorry.

stamp 13. del.icio.us & tag

Hi, I've been there again!

yes, i've also registered an account, with my work email ofcourse. during the process, i found it is installing, just doubt something will automatically disappear next day.

I now know I can make any page I like as my bookmarklets, but too many means none. we need only a few, don't we?

the other thing, this is a slow page, maybe I am not lucky, but I haven't got the verification email after 20 minutes.

although it is easy to add your instructed page as my bookmark, and it is interesting to see other people using the same page, see what they are searching.

anyway, i probably won't use it for now, but good to know it is there, and it is called del.icio.us.

about stamp No.11 librarything

you haven't read my blog about that, as there was 0 comment.
I have already done it 2 blogs before.

you just read my blog after that, as I want to tell you that it only works when you log on at least 1 of all those windows.

I have test it 3 times on mine, and 3 times on my colleagues'. we are exactly the same!
I don't see it as a problem, it is just an interesting observation. anyway, how come it is so easy for other people to get into your own 'library'?

just paste here again for you to view.
cheers

so you can see I have got 5 books in my virtual library.I labelled them as travel, cooking and medical. I will be able to access them easily with those tags, right?and I can review them on line, read them and see who else are adding them to their shelves, see how popular they are.have I got the stamp No.11?
