Web 2.0 Class Reflections 2

Facebook

So, I got distracted and checked out people through my education - grad school, college, high school. So how much stuff do you want to share? Cool to find people from high school, but do you want this on the profile? Hmm!

Could this be used at work? Maybe, how public do we want to be? Collaboration is important... Exploration is necessary... How to distinguish between tools, can you share bibliographic references? What about copyright issues? How do you link to references that are only linkable through UW? Yes, the full citation would be helpful.

If only I didn't have to sleep, think of the time I could spend on social networking and work solutions!

Web 2.0 Class Reflections 1

Lots of applicable material for work - need to take the time to learn all of these tools, is that work (billable) time? The problem is that I would be the one, do I want to become the social networking specialist? Is that where I want to take my work? It's one way to make myself "indispensible"...

Tagging

• take the bull by the horns and make up the vocabulary for everyone to use
• make the tags searchable - "public access" "ICT," etc.
• get used to tagging (vs. keywords?)

RSS feeds

• get feeds on topics of interest
• get feeds when others tag pertinent subjects

Reference sharing

• is there at tool for sharing references - collaborative and saves reference details (tried Zotero - not yet collaborative), EndNote and RefWorks need to pay, international usage (not memory hogs)
• EndNote is a back-up, but can all fields be shared, or just a bibliographic list

I think I can get by without Twitter and Tumblr, just don't get me started!
