On my blog I have a Google talk button where, when I am online, anyone can chat with me. Someone did recently and told me they found out about the series through your blog. I am in the learning field but was surprised how many people are looking at Web 2.0 for their libraries. It shouldn't have taken me be surprise because it makes a lot of sense, but still I hadn't thought of that yet. Fabulous blog. Looks like you have a lot people reading it. Well done.

It is shameful to have such things appear on the official newspaper web site. the same would hold true for a library - items appearing there should be reliable. Just because one can post a comment doesn't mean that it has to be taken seriously. The underlying thing here is that you don't want to censor library pages - but who has the time to police up the foolishness?
