Anderson book <em>Feed</em> in which all these teenagers are having a steady stream of advertising pumped directly into their heads... between my personal and work emails, cell phone, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">car</span> radio, television, etc. i feel like i <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">receive</span> a steady stream of electronic information as it is. so i have been hesitant to subscribe to any websites or blogs, opting instead to bring myself to the information if and when i need and want it. so, i went through the motions and signed up for three blogs that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">i'm</span> always wishing i had a little more time to read. But, unless this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">RSS</span> can feed me some extra time, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">i'm</span> still skeptical.leahdeliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17052676216424316662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146926547643916805.post-7562273869567206252008-06-20T09:57:00.001-07:002008-06-20T10:08:39.423-07:00thing 2perhaps because i am new to the field, the idea of library 2.0 doesn't seem <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">particularly</span> revolutionary to me. it is the concept that i was educated under and it has been my mission in my first year as a media specialist to create a space for my users, who are middle <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">schoolers</span>, the natural critics of the universe :) in fact, it surprises me only that the new 2.0 system is such a radical change from the old. if the new system makes much sense, and it is opposite to the old system, then what does that tell us about where we're coming from?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE">The Machine is Us/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ing</span> Us</a> defines best what drives it all -- information 2.0leahdeliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17052676216424316662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146926547643916805.post-7231571551403360852008-06-13T11:00:00.001-07:002008-06-13T11:04:02.612-07:00thing 1i just completed my blog -- right under the wire, as seems appropriate for my summer theme. it took me about an hour to set it all up, which seems about right as it is my third blog. it helped that i already have an avatar that i could just add. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">i'm</span> thinking about dressing her for the season, as she has an outfit that a 7-year-old friend of mine picked at the moment... in the past, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">i've</span> had some task completion issue with my blogs. the fact that it's summer vacation doesn't seem to bode well for this. i wish i knew what that prize was for the sake of motivation ;) in any case, here's to 2.0...leahdeliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17052676216424316662noreply@blogger.com0
