Keeping up with Web 2.0

It's a moving target, and things are probably going to change more before they settle down.

Here are some places you might want to use to keep up.

For academics: Educause's 7 Things You Should Know about ____ series http://www.educause.edu/content.asp?page_id=7495&bhcp=1

For keeping up with multiple blogs: an RSS reader like bloglines http://www.bloglines.com You tell bloglines which blogs you want to read, and it aggregates the content into one place, and gives you chances to email/clip the information.

Don't know why you would want to keep up with blogs: check out Google Maps Mania where people are adding information on top of a map to create interesting resources http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/

Interact with the news: The venerable BBC has infused their web site with discussion boards, so you can not just read the news but react to it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/
