Chime in with presentation ideas on Web 2.0

I am giving a presentation on Web 2.0 to faculty members and administrators who may or may not have any idea of what Web 2.0 is comprised.

I thought one way to illustrate the social and collaborative nature of this evolution of the WWW would be to leverage the power of Web 2.0 tools to help me create the presentation.

I want to make the presentation using an active network connection and feature my google docs, flickr, blogger, facebook, del.icio.us, youtube (you name it!), accounts as the location of my content.

I will of course have a canned presentation as well, if there should be some network burps.

My hope is that all my 2.0 homies, by which I mean all of you seeing this post via blogger, friendster, facebook, myspace or RSS willl chime in with a novel idea or comment about how I might utilize Web 2.0, or Library 2.0 in the presentation.

The presentation is only 10-15 minutes long, but I think can illustrate a great deal of the power of Web services in that time.


If, on the other hand, I do not have a readership or participants, then I will strategically leave this call out of my presentation. :)

Geotagging content in libraries

I wrote this in a discussion topic for librarians and Web 2.0 in Facebook.
"In these posts so far, the librarians are asking if any _libraries_ are geocoding or geotagging content. But isn't it true that the institutional response to new technology, and especially the "chaotic - anyone can edit" world of Web services is pretty slow? Would it not be more apt to ask if any librarians are geocoding content and building sites and services which one day might be recognized as valuable by libraries?"
