Buzz Words 2007
Web 2.0 and all things “social networking” were among the buzz words I heard repeatedly at Internet Librarian 2007. I’ve also listed a few former buzz words that have now basically become commonplace–even as we continue to learn more and experiment with them!
In my list below, I’ve also included web applications that were frequently mentioned during the course of the conference, too:
Buzz Words
- Second Life
- Avatar
- Content creators (as opposed to strictly Internet users)
- Mash-ups
- Drilling down (navigation) vs. upfront Boolean or Advanced Searching in WebOPACs
- Viral Marketing
Mainstream Words (formerly Buzz words)
Web Applications Frequently Mentioned
- CSS Zengarden
- Of interest to budding web developers
- Slideshare.net
- Fantastic site for displaying, sharing your Powerpoint presentations with others, and commenting on each other’s Powerpoints (i.e. essentially enabling Powerpoint blogs); this is only one of a number of such free web sites offering this type of capability)
- bliptv.com
- This seems to becoming an increasingly used site; has downloading ability, something YouTube doesn’t offer. Audio and video hosting capabilities
