1. COMMENT

Marion, Catherine and myself wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year!

I attended some sessions at the recent Online Information 2005 conference in
London - (see also the Online Information blog at:
http://blog.online-information.co.uk/ ). I won't attempt to write up my
notes from these sessions for this newsletter, but I would like to highlight
a couple of things.
Firstly a very interesting presentation given by John Dale, about the
Warwick University Blog Project. Warwick University give all their students
and staff the opportunity to develop a blog. See:
http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/ This has proven to be really popular, and has
had many unexpected benefits. The blogs are used for work, learning,
support, keeping in touch with friends/social, sharing information, etc.,
and have helped to build a real sense of community. John Dale reported that
the university has actually learnt a great deal about the opinions of its
students. See also the Library Blogs at Warwick:
http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/groups/LB
In another presentation, Peter Scott spoke about his RSS Compendium
http://allrss.com/ This is an excellent source of information about RSS, and
includes directories, readers, blogs about RSS, etc.
According to various speakers at Online, folksonomies and tagging are
becoming increasingly important. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagging
Web 2.0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0 presents exciting opportunities
for networked information of the future. ("Many recently developed concepts
and technologies are seen as contributing to Web 2.0, including weblogs,
wikis, podcasts, rss feeds and other forms of many to many publishing;
social software, web APIs, web standards, online web services, AJAX, and
others.").
For more interesting discussions about such things, see The Hive Mind:
http://infotangle.blogsome.com/2005/12/07/the-hive-mind-folksonomies-and-use
r-based-tagging/
For a more complete overview of the Online conference, see Allan Foster's
observations in Free Pint: http://www.freepint.com/issues/151205.htm#feature

Random Quotes
"In the December 2005 survey we received responses from 74,353,258 sites.
That's a decrease of 219.5K sites from the November survey, marking the
first decline in the Netcraft survey since January 2003. Thus, a record year
for Internet growth has ended with a whimper rather than a bang. After
gaining 17.5 million sites in the first 10 months of 2005, the Internet lost
30,000 sites over the next two months." Netcraft http://news.netcraft.com/

3. NICE WEB SITE
----------------------------
In the course of finding sites of interest for this Newsletter, we sometimes
come across Web sites which we feel deserve slightly more than a passing
mention. Each month we will pick out one or more such sites, and give them a
short review. The sites will normally be UK based, may be small or large,
and be of interest or potential interest to academics. After lengthy
discussions we have decided, with incredible creativity :-), to call these:
Nice Web Sites. Details of previous Nice Web Sites are available in the Nice
Web Site Archive.
Three websites this month use social/collaborative/folksonomy networking
techniques, and are definitely worth further investigation:
