Getting started

I have been waiting for the opportunity to try some Web 2.0 tools at work for a long time, and am delighted to have a legitimate excuse to puddle around. At Christmas I created a blog for my family, so I am fairly familiar with Blogger, but am looking forward to delving into RSS feeds and heading for the optional Adventures. I already use delicious and library thing, but have not used Zoho. My family uses Picase web albums, but I would like to investigate Flickr. So there is lots ot go on with. I think blogging is an excellent way to disseminate offer and seek opinion on any topic, and to share knowledge and experience with others. As a music librarian, blogs help me to verify song lyrics and song sources, and as a home pc user, blogs help me to troubleshoot unusual hardware/software issues. Blogs can be a creative adjunct to almost any programmed library activity, to commemorate an event, accompany an exhibition or help staff to pool ideas.
