Quick Tour of Web 2.0 via Library Journal

The May 1st issue of Library Journal carries an article worth reading by anyone who needs to brush up on so-called web 2.0 technologies like Facebook, Flickr, Second Life, iPods, etc. The citation for the article is:

Title: THE PARALLEL INFORMATION UNIVERSE.
Authors: Eisenberg, Mike
Source:Library Journal; 5/1/2008, Vol. 133 Issue 8, p22-25, 4p, 1c

It is available thanks to the Digital Pipeline and you're reading this in Alaska, you should be able to read the article at http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=f5h&AN=31743791&site=ehost-live.


Each type of technology is briefly analyzed according to Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. I especially like this article for its balance. It is neither a manifesto to adopt every shiny new toy nor a call to return to 1965.
