Custom searching

It's heck to grow old, no? Possibly this rollyo or google's custom search engine COULD be useful for someone regularly searching in particular fields (maybe?) but for me I don't see it replacing Google or any generic "search all" tool (possibly because I am used to what works for me).
Rollyo had too many ads and misleading results for me anyway....!

(but feel free to rollyo own!)

Like, totally wiki

So, I guess there are different methods of learning, and folks (I mean, old fogies) can get used to how they get their information....
Email, and webpages CAN seem like enough (mostly?)

Though I DO see how we should definitely have set up a wiki for the virtual 'graffiti wall' we long talked about having on the teen webpages within kcls...
(the time is still ripe for this...!)

tattoos for librarians!

this isn't directly relevant to library 2.0 but pretty kewl nonetheless!:

LIBRARIAN TEMPORARY TATTOOS
If a librarian were to get a tattoo, it would look like one of these amazing Illustrated Librarian Temporary Tattoos for book lovers. You don't have to be a librarian to wear a "Read or Die" tattoo, but it does make it even cooler!

{especially as it was such a topic of conversation at our staff meeting today!}

ridi.culo.us not deli.cio.us!

Wow, they call it deli.cio.us but I think I'm losing my appetite...!
So, I'm supposed to care what everyone else is tagging out there? It's supposed to help me find what I'm looking for to see a million other random folks' ideas of what is good info., etc.?
Well, maybe, I suppose -- but it seems like only in a desperate situation, when the simpler strategies DON'T work...
impressive to see all the languages tagging out there anyway....

the further we get into this, the more I'm inclined to retreat to pen and paper...!
(yikes!)
