Library 20.0 (OK, maybe not yet, but we're getting there)

Great articles. Excellent summation of how all of this (email, facebook, tagging, del.icio.us, wikis, etc.) has evolved with newer ideas being built upon, yet encorporating the old. I liked the description of libraries being "conversations" and "dynamic", "knowledge spas". And that no matter what the future brings, what we have done in the past and what we are doing now will part of it. From my own perspective, it's been interesting to participate in these changes. On the one hand, the internet hasn't been around all that long yet I can't imagine life without it. The changes in technology, to me, are just part of the natural progression of society. I'm curious to see how our profession changes.
