Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati - Learning week 6
#15 (week 6)
So enjoyed to do Library 2.0, it is amazing to see what library will look like in future. Libraries are the whole world in future, if you go to the libraries, you will master the whole world. Libraries do not only provide some books, information, but also are conversations of people, ideas, and artefacts in dynamic exchange.
Library 2.0 is different from Library 1.0. Library 2.0 just gives us new ways for library services in the future. The library in the future will use advancing technologies, such as web logs, wikis, myspace, tagging, and personal cataloguing, digital collections of journals, books, blog, etc. There are also many benefits of Library 2.0, Web services would be easy; bibliographic services would be better; more education to the patrons, etc. No doubt, the libraries would have very good future by using Library 2.0.

Took a look at Technorati, did a keyword search for 'Learning 2.0', there were 9051 results about Blog posts, 659 results about Tags, and 806 results about Blog Directory. Also claimed my blog using Technorati, the directory is as follow:
http://www.technorati.com/people/technorati/anniecui
Looked at popular blog, searches and tags, found it is interesting. It is good to know some blogs are popular, like Boing Boing; some searches are popular, such as: google, face book. When I searched by tags only, it narrowed down almost 3/4 of blogs.

Tags are simply words which can be used to describe the bookmarks. Unlike folders, we make up tags when we need them, and we can use them as many as we like. Tags play an important role in the library management nowadays.
Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking manager that allows user to bookmark a web page or a blog and add tags to catagorize users' bookmarks. Looked through Del.icio.us, it is not easy to find out how it works and how to add tags on the web page. As Del.icio.us is good at social network, had a look at others have tagged similar links, it is intersting.
