Web 2.0 Week 8

1. This was the week of 'mashups'. I viewed the time in Kolkata, India through Google maps using the platform called 'World Time Engine'. It displayed a map of India and told the exact time in the city I searched--Kolkata previously known as Calcutta.





2. I searched for 'privacy' in librarianblogs, it came up with a number of articles:

a. "Congress requests EPA libraries to open again"

b. Terrafly: more local info in one place than you can shake a stick at

I did not see the word 'privacy' in any of these librarianblogs, however.


I also looked at etBLAST, the search engine that recognizes text placed in its search box and maps it to other similar items in its database. Good way of getting relevent articles, finding out who else is writing in a specific subject area, etc.
