Well there is not much point in me taking bullet-point notes on this, since Steven M. Cohen has posted his notes at http://stevenmcohen.pbwiki.com/BlogsWikis. I’ll stick to stuff that is new and exciting to me.

He put up the URLs for the open IL wiki and open IL blog

  • The “news” in “Google News” or “Yahoo! News” may not be what you normally think of news, as it included blogs and the like.

  • Is Wikipedia great, awful, or meh? Steven says meh. [I say great here, awful there.]

  • Why did Yahoo! buy Flickr? For the content; Yahoo will one day have the best image search ever.

  • Netvibes: Ajax-powered homepage builder. Drag palettes around with feeds from blogs, weather, etc. Typically nifty Ajax interface.

  • Steven says “Library Thing is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life….This is what I want the next-generation library catalog to look like.”

  • LiveMarks: watch del.icio.us home page and del.icio.us popular update in real time, without reloading. [Mesmerising!]
