Serendipity
On my blog-round today I read this article. Very interesting. I have often read about Lifehacker, no. 5 on the list, but have never gone there. Today was the day and my eye immediately fastened on this article, which in turn of course led to this article. And naturally I had to read the other list as well. I can honestly say that some of those phrases I haven't used. But most of them I have. However, not "talk the talk, walk the walk". That really is an awful expression!
I promise to try and avoid each and every one of them in my paper. What about you?

Rss reader and Library 2.0 blogs
I use Google Reader to keep up to date with the blogs I follow, and I have placed it in my IGoogle.
Usually, I only folllow my friends' blogs, so I have taken some of your suggestions as a starting point in search for Library 2.0 blogs.
I choose What I Learned Today, a blog about web 2.0 that seems really interesting, and Library Hacks and Mélange, which gives us really good links and tips about Library 2.0 and web 2.0.

Tinas library blogs
I've found the following blogs both interesting and useful.
Library 2.0: An academic's perspective - Even though it's not active anymore, there are many interesting things to read about the developement of Library 2.0
BiblioTech Web - A blog about how technology can improve both communication, research and learning in the librarians daily life. (the web site also includes many great links to other library blogs)
Ricklibrarian - The blog debate books, websites, movies and stuff that has something to do with libraries and librarianship. I think it's cozy and relaxed.
When it comes to my rss reader, I use igoogle.

iCarolines Librarian blogs
After first discovering Librarian Bloggers, I stumbled over the blog:
What I´ve learned today By Nicole C. Engard. It’s a blog about Web 2.0 and programming tips from a library technology enthusiast, wich seems interesting as she reviews the web 2.0 tools.
I will also keep an eye on Jess from Massachusetts and her blog Cool Librarian because she sort of undergoes the frustrations and successes of being a librarian 2.0
Finally a funny one to scout through is Library Revolution, especially Librarians and Technology: minimal competences.
I know we are only supposed to follow/find 3 blogs but this is also great.

Ruths bling bling blond blog.....
To start with I signed up for the RSS feed from the course blog, and then installed igoogle, very smart and very very easy to use.
Then I tried to find three interesting blogs that mention or write about web or library 2.0..and the first blogger I found interesting was a librarian named David Lee King.
Then on my way, came Lauren who is also a librarian, and blogs about different things, among her different post on the blog, there is a lot about web 2. 0.
Finally there is the social networking librarian, Annalaura Brown. Her main interest is library 2.0.
Thats all for now.
Have a great weekend. See you all next friday.

Kristina's blogs to follow
According to the assignment, I have been browsing for library 2.0 blogs to follow, and they are as follows:
- Librarian by day because it has Library 2.0 as a main subject, it is personal, I like the tone it is written in.
- The annoyed librarian because is is a humorous approach to library and to the things that colour our every-day-life. :o)
- The invisible library because it is a personal blog, with both topics of news, his own musings, open source.
I found the two first blogs using bloglines (maybe not directly, but that was the starting point...) and the last one i found using a plain google search "librarian blog".
I use Google reader to view my rss-feeds. :o)

Tinas thoughts
The interesting thing about interactive websites, is that the visitor of the site can affect what is written on them. Representative sites are for example advertising markets, webchat, guest book and more.
I use quite a few interactive websites, like metrobloggen, facebook and blocket.
Metrobloggen is similar to other bloggs you may know. The writer of the blogg is the moderator and editor of it; you can upload pictures, and visitors can leave comments, and then the writer choose to accept the comments and let them be visible for other visitors, or not. It’s really easy to start up a blogg because you don’t have to know HTML. You can choose one out of ten different already finished appearances for you blogg, but if you know how to create a CSS, you can make a completely new and original look for your blogg.
When it comes to me I’m an arty person, but in my blogg the focus is on the text, and not so much on the esthetics. I’m a creative person and I have to write to get rid of some thoughts, to be able to come up with new things. :) If you’re curious, it’s on http://www.metrobloggen.se/timotej, but most of it is in swedish, accept some poems, headlines and songs.
As almost everyone else, I’m on Facebook. The fun thing about it, is that you can collect friends. It might sound a bit strange, but I mean that you can keep in touch with people all over the world, and it’s very fast and easy, because everyone is there, only a “klick” away.
I’ve read an article about people getting addicted of the friend collecting part. They seem to think that the more friends you’ve got on facebook, the more status you’ve got over all. I think it’s rather the other way around...
Another site is Blocket, and it’s the biggest buy and sell market in Sweden. Here you can choose a landscape and a city, and then see what the people in the city wants to buy or sell. You can choose from several categories, if you’re looking for a car or an animal. I think it’s fun just to view what people have to offer, but I have actually never bought something, but many of my friends do.

Exercise: blog + LibraryThing
I've just put this message on the course web as well.
For those of you who were not at the lessons last Friday, I gave the class two exercises.
The first exercise is to write a blog post on this course blog.
The blog post should contain some of your favourite web 2.0 sites.
Please feel welcome to use the course blog to share ideas, web sites and other interesting stuff related to the course theme on web 2.0 and library 2.0. Please also use the blog comments to respond to each others' postings :-)
The second exercise is to create a profile page at LibraryThing: http://www.librarything.com
A web site for sharing your personal book shelf with others. We will use this web site to discuss how one can implement library 2.0 features in traditional library catalogs.
It would be great if you can accomplish both exercises before noon tomorrow Wednesday.
Please send me an email (LB@db.dk) with a link to your LibraryThing profile page. The link should be in this shape: http://www.librarything.com/profile/connecto (my LT profile :-)
The person in the class having most books in LibraryThing with tags at noon tomorrow will receive a small gift on Friday ;-)

Iveta's links to Web 2.0 sites
Hey, I would also like to contribute to this web 2.0 sites overview :)
As most of us, I use facebook , then igoogle and youtube. Similar kind of stuff as youtube can be done at Metacafe or czech Stream.cz , where users can add their videos or watch some pieces from czech tv channel, but I don't use it much.
I use Wikipedia, but only as a passive user, I do not contribute to the content. Then I sometimes go to Lyricwiki which is good when I need to find lyrics of songs I like.
I started my blog lately, but it is really a beta version, I still haven't found out everything I need from the CMS I'm using there..
I go almost every day to discussion forum nyx.cz where you can find a topic you are interested in and join easily with people with same interests. There are both chatting boards and more professional ones, which can be helpful if you have troubles when solving a problem. You can also present your pictures there and discuss about them and each user has a blogging space.
We used Slideshare quite a lot during one of my classes, our teacher always placed his presentations there. It's a good place when you want to show your presentations to group of people or find people who are into the same topic as you.
For listening to music, I sometimes go to last.fm but I think it has changed lately and I don't like it as much as before. I used to go more to Radioblogclub.com.
