I didn't realise there was so much out there!
Some of it I can take or leave - such a Gizmoz - OK for the groovy young things or those with to much time on their hands. However, such technolgy would be useful legitimately for promotional or instructional uses .. eg. as the tour guide on a virtual library tour, or as a pop-up commentator.
The blogs can be useful for work related sharing of info, or as patron info, or if you had a hobby that fostered some discussion. Also, blogs about good/bad holiday experiences etc can be very useful.
However, such blogs as "Housebound Freds Daily Routine Blog" and "Hi I'm Paris, lets talk about hair and beauty products" should be given a miss. (unless thats your thing)
Generally, I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the web, too many little sites/products with so many different log ons, and possibly things that need to be administered etc. However, things such as banking, renewing books, finding information are great.
What does the future hold... we'll see.. hopefully still some human interaction

Ay up lad! Stop yer beefin. You've got your stots in a knot and you've got me radgey. You sound like refugee from Slimethorpe or mor in likely from the wrong side o' t'Pennines. I bet you get to work on a Push-Iron .. or perhaps you've had a few too many Tets and got a manky in the ol' noggin. Mind you, you tek-a-good likeness in the black and white pic, much better that the colour one that looks like a Yorkshire barmpot. Anyway hope I haven't made you get a munk on. You've got a good blog. Me - time for down pub.
Chuffin Nora! by ek and go t'foot o'our stairs... E'yer cheeky beggar ah com from the 'Riviera of o'North' that is sunny Sheffield. Nar then al av thee no i ant got munk on tha nos. A wish a could have a few Tets, but alas no - I'm in NSW Australia (ice cold cats piss is all thats available). I get a few cans of Boddingtons every now an again (if on special offer or better still someone else buying- we're carefull tha know us Yorkshire folk). I've been compared to a young Albert Tatlock (unlike that Lanc Peter Kay - whos more like a young Alf Roberts). I suprised you found the blog - I wouldn't have one but its an exercise for work purposes. Too hot for a push iron here. No wonder they sent convicts!!!

Some technologies like 'Gizmoz' can be lower level versions of technology that the workplace will use. I have read that there are now businesses paying companies to create animated business cards, probably of a much higher standard the freebie you can create with Gizmoz. So an animated person appears and introduces the company rather than a flat web page. Maybe if this becomes the norm for a front page of a web site then the Library will create one? I did try to find an example but couldn't, maybe someone else knows of one?
