Library Stuff

Emily Clasper shares some of her thoughts on the topic of the day.

LiveJournal users are revolting against Six Apart. Can’t say I blame ‘em. Educating our children about the bad stuff they find on the Internet is the key. Taking the bad stuff away is not a good idea. I wonder if they were threatened with a lawsuit.

I haven’t been much impressed with new search engines lately (heck even the “oldies” aren’t that great), but Zuula looks quite useful. If anything, it’s a decent way to compare results from across the board. I added it as my default FireFox search. We’ll see. (via)

Also, the Financial Times has a piece on http://www.mahalo.coml”>Mahalo, a human indexed search engine. Whoa!!! Humans Rock! Well, kinda. No page for library? Doh!

Mahalo: It’s 1995 all over again.

The times they are a changin’.

As always, the latest C&I is worthy of a big ol’ File….Print. Just in time for a boring fun time at ALA Annual. Walt even writes about Twitter. I’m not surprised to see Walt absent from Twitting. Not his thing. That’s cool Walt. It’s not for everybody and I have totally stopped telling people that they need to “get it” or have to do something related to technology.

I’m not on Second Life, MySpace (started an account and never did anything with it) or Facebook. Maybe I don’t “get it” and that’s fine with me. Just not my thing.
