Week 6: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati

Del.icio.us: Del.icio.us is a more advanced bookmarking tool than internet browser bookmarks. It gives us freedom to access bookmarks everywhere on every computer through internet. It does tagging and comments and makes it easy to categorise different websites :D

Technorati: I just added this blog to Technorati. Honestly, I don't really like the website of Technorati. There are too many ads on this site and make it like a dentist website (ha-ha, I keep seeing a number of dental ads). Tagging can be done when claiming a blog.

Library 2.0: By reading Chip Nilges's 'To more powerful ways to cooperate' (http://www.oclc.org/nextspace/002/4.htm), I really agree with the point "release lightweight services". So I guess in the next few year, libraries (digital prospective) would focus on building open web services and provide open API for web users/developers. All those sort of services can be easily integrated into partner websites. Digital NZ is a good example to share contents.
