Having heard the phrase "wiki wiki" in Hawaii, it was interesting to know that this process was indeed named after the Hawaiian word!

My favorites were the Duct tape and Dads articles, actually dealing with the subject of childbirth and early childhood parenting practices. I also enjoyed the children's gardening section from Saint Joseph's.

I think we can use these in the library to give tons of info quickly and from countless resources.

I liked the "no comments allowed on this page" because it is restrictive to rude and crude remarks some thoughtless person might make.

I must move on to #17 quickly- I mean "wiki wiki"!

How can 2.0 make things easier? I think education tools like 23THINGS will make it easier because we will know what we are doing! As far as strengths, 2.0 provides more than one source, it is user-centered and very creative. Weakness are that a person needs to be educated in how to access and use the programs.There are the mentioned space and money constraints. I also was saddened as the noted fact that being computer related may mean that a person never has to, or choose to, visit a library. Let's not loose that! The concepts are flying- for instance the article about the New York Times article about UT Austin(Texas) Book less Library- which in reality was about creating more space for tech by eliminating duplicate and unused books.

More positives than negatives in general though!

Google Books was very helpful in educating me for future purchases for our library. It was a lot of fun to look through the books, and a great concept. I think it will be a shelf space advantage for libraries. It will present almost unending access for any topic. I feel it is almost a case of too many things for/to all people. I definitely think copyrights will be a problem target.

My favorite discovery on this item is Tot Spot. What a great idea! It is a place for parents and grands to make a personal page for their little ones. It will bring people together and is a great way to share photo and experiances of early hildhood. I could not get the screen shot link to open- but will try again later.My tag will be EC. I also like the tag cloud and clicked on python..........:)

I have enjoyed seeing how many different concepts and ideas have been redirected into the computer world. It is amazing when some one asks"How did you do that?" and you can honestly show and /or tell them ! Very empowering! I'd like the m3 player please.

I didn't have time to add my words, so here they are:

The Goodreads part was fun once Ms. Helen helped me with the "tag" part. It is an amazing dynamic to have all this info available with a click. Getting the link was much harder-but with the help from my kind friend, it's done! Yea Goodreads!!
