Part I
Mash-ups, hmm, I guess I had heard the term but I never knew what fun they could be! My favorite discoveries this morning:
Mapdango - I'll definitely put this on my list when I am gathering information before traveling both near and far (searched on one of my favorite spots - Bermuda. Wish I were there right now!)
Star viewer - on the list when I need a little distraction and I need to be reminded of my place in the universe (an interactive map of the night sky)
Go-go Google Gadget - I hope our library will think about implementing some of these. A fast and easy way to add some pizazz to our web site
Part II
The post that struck me the most talked about the attitude difference between baby-boomer types (like me) and the net-gens or any other younger generation type. Yes, I am extremely concerned about my privacy and post my private information quite cautiously. My teenage son is at the opposite end of the spectrum. He is about to be a college student (here at UNC-Chapel Hill - yeah!) and he sees the privacy issue as something that is blown out of proportion. We'll see if my concerns are valid or if my son (and his peers) really get it!
