was an excellent tool to learn how to use Del.icio.us.
Del.icio.us looks interesting and useful.When have time will install buttons on my home computer for tagging sites.

#14 Technorati. A site that needs to explored in greater detail. A good way to find posts, blogs, videos and posts of any topic you choose.

#15 Do changing technologies mean changing libraries?
Can libraries move from a static location to being “everywhere” via the web.?
Can libraries educate users to use online services with limited resources and personal?
Can libraries change to provide simple “one mouse click” access to online services?
Will future Web 2.0 Libraries still cater for users’ needs for a place of community and socialisation?
What changes are further ahead for libraries? Librarian and book avatars?

Answering these questions could be exciting. Web 2.0 technologies offer a lot of opportunity for libraries and library users. A wonderful, new web world waits for us at our fingertips.
