Web 2.0 sites, RSS and Blogs..

Last weeks assignment:
I am a lurker on these sites:
Internet Movie Database, Wikipedia, Scope (a danish site a little like Internet Movie Database), aok, Litteratursiden (danish site about litterature).

This weeks assignment:
I use iGoogle for RSS.

Found these blogs:
iLibrarian
News and resources on Library 2.0 and the information revolution.
Written by Ellyssa Kroski,a Reference Librarian at Columbia University’s Butler Library.

Meredith Farkas' blog.
According to herself:
"A librarian, writer and tech geek reflecting on the profession and the tools we use to serve our patrons"

This blog will report news and developements regarding a book called "
Information Literacy meets Library 2.0" edited by Peter Godwin and Jo Parker - just thought it looked interesting.

RSS-feeds…I tend to use the build-in RSS reader in my browser (Avant Browser) for a few simple reasons. It’s handy and with a right bar in the browser, easy to use – and a small sign pops up every time anything new happens on one of the blogs I’m following.

I know that none of this these are new, but since it wasn’t the assignment to find new blogs, but just to find some blogs, I don’t think it matters. I have chosen several blogs to follow:
The three I will be watching closely is:

  • Farkas’s blog, for the obvious reasons. It’s her view point of web 2.0 that we are working with and therefore it is easier to set in on her writing style.
  • iLibrarian, seams to have a broad range within the subject. It’s almost daily updated and have a blogroll with links to many of the other blogs listed by my co-students.
  • This was the hard one, I wanted to take one with personality and humour, and I think both librarycrunch and ricklibrarian holds these characteristics. But in this case I’ll let the design win and choose ricklibarian, only because it’s easier to read.
