May Institute

Dear Diary,

Today I have attended workshops and learned about interesting ideas:

Bloglines
http://www.bloglines.com/

Library catalog which is in the form of a Blog
http://www.plymouth.edu/library/opac/

A virtual library
http://virtualteenlibrary.blogspot.com/

Google's Short Message Service SMS service whereby they respond to text messages:

Web 2.0 which is basically the "Read/Write Web" or the "2-Way Web"

This information was presented by Micheal Stephens
http://tametheweb.com/

Secondly I attended a panel discussion on work environments and there was an interesting comment: A boss may say "Work is not a curse but if work was fun you'd pay me."

We discussed power differentials invlolved in a seemingly positive option of feedback from workers to critique their managers.


I found these useful websites:
