i must be a robot

Fiveish hours of sleep since Thursday and yet I'm still functioning on some level. I can't possibly be human.

I'm obviously at work where today's theme is staff development. Technically, all staff is allowed 2 hours a week for work-related educational purposes. My topic today is Library 2.0. Here's a good pro-Library 2.0 article and here's a nay. I have a ton o'stuff saved on my del.icio.us account (which is a disaster, by the way. I have a tendency to save a bunch of stuff and then never really organize it) that I managed to tag, but not really delve into to form an opinion. The last time I got all into a library concept was when I discovered folksonomies which really does relate back to Library 2.0. I think there can be little doubt that the inclusion of user-based social tagging sites (such as my beloved del.icio.us, flickr, and technorati) are having a huge impact on how information is catalogued and created. And that literally makes me hot just thinking about it.
