Since the entry and maintenance of subject material can be edited by any Internet visitor, the information should not be considered to be complete or the final answer, but is often accurate and useful for quick information.

#10 Web 2.0, Library 2.0
There are some interesting articls on the web. I like the artical by Tom Storey on 'Where will the next generation Web take libraries?' Technology is changing every minute. and as it is mentioned in the artical - In Web 2.0, the Web becomes the center of a new digital lifestyle that changes our culture and touches every aspect of our lives. The Web moves from simply being sites and search engines to a shared network space that drives work, research, education, entertainment and social activities—essentially everything people do. You and your mobile and nonmobile devices—PDA, MP3, laptop, cell phone, camera, PC, TV, etc.—are always online, connected to one another and to the Web. This is one side
However, we should also consider that not all patron want to use these tools, many prefere to visit the library and find out information from Librarians.

# 9 Technorati
Technorati seems too much for me. No explanation about Technorati on home page.
I looked into various things like Videos, new movies - and I came across couple of links that you can actually download movies. It was interesting to have a look at how many people are looking and commenting on all these links!

Absolutely brilliant!!!! The good thing about social bookmarking and tagging is that you can manage your hundreds of useful sites on web very easily.

At work you can share lots of information and resource by socila bookmaking.

Things #7: RSS & A Newsreader
Well, it took little while to understand RSS and Newsreader. I started to read about RSS but so..... much to read. I can't read long long pargraphs on computer, rather I prefer short and simple steps.
Anyway, I am having look at some of the feeds and I have also subscribed some interesting topics. Now I have pleny to read online.
This technology would be great service for library patrons who are intrested in different topics including book reviews and current news.
