RSS = Really Saturated with Subscriptions

I never have time to actually go to Bloglines and read what's come in. The technology is great but the human is still typing on a wooden keyboard! Maybe when I retire, I'll have time to keep up? I would like to have the time to create a blog that was a diary of the local outdoors, e.g. record when the birds migrate and the plants bloom.

For libraries, I see more value in wikis than blogs. The chronological aspect of blogs seems to me to demand more than just "here's what I thought about today." But for most blogs, the date of the entry isn't all that meaningful. It makes sense to me to use a blog for an events calendar because that's chronological. To use blogging for a book discussion keeps comments sequential, but I'm not sure how important that is. A 2.0 catalog would not be sequential, but wholistic. In essence, all 2.0 technologies are conversations and the ones that are not sequential seem to me to build more more interesting outcomes.
OK
