social networking

I can see how social networking sites such as facebook or my space would be useful to share information about a particular area of interest, or to seek ideas from others who already have expertise in a certain area.
To me, social still means being able to see a person or hear their voice, so I have to change my way of thinking!
For libraries, I think there is great potential for planning, reviewing and promoting - with staff, clients and community groups.

wikis

Try as I might , unless I am needing to find out specific information which I haven't been able to access elsewhere, I would not read or use a wiki.

I would much rather do something than sit in front of a screen and get a headache. I cant see what the attraction is!

Also, unless I have the time and the inclination to regularly use this technology, I won't remember how to find it.

I'm afraid my feeling at present is "Give me the good old days".

flickr

I chose a pic of Venice because mine are in the process of being added to flickr. Now I know I will have to add tags so I don't have to browse through 1000 photos to find the one I want!

I also will need to work out what to do with some where other tourists have walked past as I clicked.
