		<title>Last class post!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Farewell, LIS 757, I have learned a lot.  For our final week tasks I am to comment on which social software tools I will continue using.  Definitely Bloglines and Del.icio.us.  I have been using them throughout for many other reasons than this class and I have become addicted.  I hope to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=33&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Social Software in Libraries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I have reached the end of this LIS757 course on Social Software &#38; Libraries I have a much better overall picture of social software&#8217;s place in libraries.  First of all, I feel it has a place.  Secondly, I have to agree with my colleague, Colleen, that libraries must always examine their [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=32&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>CBC News reports Podcasting not-so-hot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just in time for this week&#8217;s topic, CBC News has posted an article Podcasting download volume lagging behind buzz: study says.  It reports on the Pew Internet &#38; American Life Project Podcast Study done this August, which indicated that only 1% of internet users download a podcast on a typical day, and that 12% of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=31&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Librarians, fix your makeup!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First of all, I would like to send a big thanks to this weeks presenters on Podcasting, they did a great job.
Before this class I listened to a couple of podcasts that I searched for on iTunes and downloaded onto my iPod.  I looked for Spanish broadcasts to keep up my skills (ha!) and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=30&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A week off!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m using a blogging break this week, but thanks for checking!
I can&#8217;t resist mentioning that Zotero is asking librarians for help promoting their tool across campuses.

		<title>I have 1 friend!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just signed up for Facebook!  Being a bit on the edge of the age group using Facebook (i.e. TOO OLD), I&#8217;ve never felt the need to do so, and apparently neither had my friends (Facebook lets you check if any contacts from your email addressbook have accounts). But I found my classmate Susan!  I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=28&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Exploring Folksonomies After Midnight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[D&#8217;oh&#8230; reading week has melted my brain and I forgot to post this LAST WEEK!
The Lawley article has an interesting start &#8211; discussing the potential &#8216;evil&#8217; in folksonomies, such as deliberately mislabeled items.  I have wondered about how advertisers could misuse tags to promote their product (simply add the &#8216;most popular tag today&#8217; to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=27&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Exploring Folksonomies before midnight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a race to the finish!  See how far I make it through the readings before midnight!
The Kroski article is a good summary of the Pros and Cons of folksonomies, but the most important message, I feel, is that &#8220;resistance is futile&#8221;!  The web is so large and ever-changing that paying professionals to classify [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=26&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Comparison Shopping</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really like the looks of my new BlinkList account but I wish I could import my del.icio.us account!  I know I should be able to but my passwords don&#8217;t seem to work for their export to xml del.icio.us page.  I love looking at my colourful cloud, the images of the webpages next [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=25&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t hide your social bookmarks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t find the links to Lansing Public Library&#8217;s del.icio.us bookmarks on their home page, but it looks like they have some well-monitored and defined categories (black_history).  LaGrange Park Public Library&#8217;s del.icio.us account is a little sparse in comparison and no large theme jumps out at me.  I think a library&#8217;s del.icio.us account [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hjbennett.wordpress.com&blog=398561&post=24&subd=hjbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
