Thing 2 - Library 2.0/Web 2.0

I just finished watching the video (V) and reading the Library 2.0 article (I skimmed the Web 2.0 article) and was struck by the following ideas:
  • a blog is created every 1/2 second. Did I read that right?! (V)
  • we are the Web (V)
  • we are teaching "the machine" (V)
  • 100 billion times per day, humans click on a web page (V)
  • "L2 challenges library orthodoxy on almost every level" - so how does this impact what I do in my elementary library? How does L2 change my definition of library? (L2)
  • I like the idea of IM for virtual reference (L2)
  • I don't really understand how gaming fits into the definition of library. I guess I think of it as a gimmick to get patrons into the library. (L2)

In looking up further information (trying to get clarification on the difference between HTML and XML) I found this great resource: W3Schools .
