Wikis

I have looked at Mint Museums and found it very interesting. I thought the main page had an excellent profile and invited me to look at more of the links it offered.

Book Lovers Wiki was ideal for me to see what other readers thought of books that I may have read and what they thought of them(agree or disagree it's all personal taste).

Montana History Wiki is a great way for children to learn about the history of their area especially with the quick links.

Applications that could work well in Libraries might be a Book Club, inviting readers to have their say. Services that are availble to the public and when they are available,and public recommendations of services that they might enjoy

RSS

I have just subscribed to six RSS feeds.I selected Powerhouse Museum and enjoyed all the photos available on the site.
I also selected CatDogWebsite Syndication to help understand how to look after my pets and get updates on different problems that may arise with them.
Cass Down Under I had hoped would give me some insight on an overseas visitor and what they thought of our country and our way of life(I was very dissapointed with the information she posted knowing the time and effort to set up a Blog).
Travel Happy was a fun way to learn about other travellers and their experiences to different countries.
Hill Shire Times helped me with understanding partner sites. I think the credit card might get an outing on one of the sites.
Flinders University Library was a great way for all to understand how the RSS site can be used in the library.
