Week 6 Thing 15

To a temporary place in time....

Some of the topics mention seem far out... yet... they also seem to appear that the topics are attainable... Library 3.0 makes me think of "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells movie adaptation of 2002.... When the time traveler first hops forward in time to a future... In the book... he was arrested for illegal time travel... but in the movie... it showed our future society which blew up the moon... However... the movie takes us into a library with a digital hologram librarian... everything that librarian did, can be replicated even today... the question is... how soon will that kind of technology come out?

I think Library 4.0 is blissful... but... I hope that the strategic goals of libraries can make this seemingly perfect exsistance into a reality for everyone.

Week 6 Thing 14

The results from the three searches were different. They gave a wide variety of different blogs from looking at different blogs, tags, and directories.

I think that tagging will be more effective than search engines since people of different localities can find all relevant information on topics they choose, and different aspects of the subject they are looking for.

Week 6 Thing 13

Del.icio.us appears to be a useful tool for finding new information quickly, bookmarks can appear within minutes of a new page being posted. A limitation that search engines have is that they have to constantly search for new pages, and it could take hours or days to actually return a result.

I love the way that you can search for related subjects by the tagged lines. It makes searching very useful. I think that anywhere bookmark idea for this is not ideal for everyone. Although it is useful, I do not use bookmarks personally since anything important enough to bookmark is memorized. It is nice though to find a few groups that have similar interests as yourself and that find new relevant information quickly.
