This week's topic was quite interesting. I can see that using social bookmarking would be something I would be much more likely to use this type of tool at work, than other tools we've been learning about, eg RSS feeds.

I like the idea of using Del.icio.us in our library service. Many staff circulate around the branches and using a tool like this would enable everyone to share websites they find useful in their work.
I didn't really like Technorati too much, very busy page, and I don't think I'd use it too much. Library Thing is really interesting. I would use this tool as a way of finding other authors I might like to read, perhaps to recommend new authors to patrons as well.

I really loved the line on Library Thing that said "If the buzz page doesn't convince you, you cannot be convinced. Go away" LOL Don't you just feel like saying something like that to difficult patrons occasionally??!!!

This picture I found on Flickr - I'm considering using this as a suggestion to carry out for my performance appraisal. Hey, we might not be able to find anything in the library, but it sure would look pretty!!!
