Hi Jon
I like the title "The Inside Out Web Museum". Was in Lorcan Dempsey who
talked about "the library going to the user rather than the user going to
the Library" in a Web 2.0 world (soory I can't find the reference). Anyway
your article seems to have some similarlites with that thought.
>Worrying about whether certain technologies are 'stable' is important.
But let's not forget that Web 2.0 isn't just about technnologies - it's a
descriptive term (just as terms such as "Blairite" or "Thatcherite" aren't
formal definitions, but may help to provide a shared understanding).
So as regards the hype over 'mashups', let;'s not get too worried about
whether the technologies are mature - let's remember that the Library world
has been working on combining catlogues for many years and has a great deal
of experiences in both the technocal aspects and the social/human aspects
"But I'll lose my library's branding").
