I think the articles that are being tagged by the LIS768 class are really interesting. I wish I had time to just read all the articles and then the articles that follow those.
RSS feeds are supposed to make one’s life easier, but I just checked and I currently have 155 subscriptions on my Google Reader. Of course most of those have only 1 post a day, if that, but some have a bunch of posts every day. That’s just Google Reader and doesn’t count Drudge or Newser or Slashdot or BoingBoing. I could cut back and then I’d actually have time to read the articles I am marking.
I have one subscription just for items tagged LIS768 on del.icio.us and I actually want to talk to the people who have tagged articles with this tag to find out why they are interested in the topic in the article.
chrisbreitenbach marked this with the LIS768 tag and even pulled out one of the quotes that I pulled out (on the “ickiness” of the term citizen journalist [insert personal rant here-I have seen "non-pro" journalists who do a hell of a lot better and more even handed job of reporting than you can see on tv (thinking about a specific report involving a College Republican, a College Democrat, and 2 CNN anchors trying to talk about the election])
The other quote from that article that I found interesting was:
More Shapiro: “Web 1.0 was about media companies pushing content to us. Web 2.0 was about consumers connecting with each other. Web 2.1 is now about consumers connecting with each other around content.”

You can count me among that 11%. That would be so convenient (not to mention cool)
I am enjoying reading the class blogs and I can imagine many discussions that could be generated from them….
There are other things…but one can’t spend all of one’s time stalking wild information. I have projects to do and books to find and meetings to attend. And more digging to do on an email reference question from my friend in Nicaragua (who is surfing while I am writing).
