Exercise 15 Commenting on other blogs

I have made comments on both Sharon Luhr & Michelle Cheng's blogs.

These are two comments I wrote on Sharon's blog:

Exercise 1 Web 2.0:

Once again I am going to agree with both you (and Michelle). A hard copy of a book can not be beaten but unfortunately we as individuals because we have a passion for libraries and information services have to go with the flow of modern technology e.g Library Web 2.0. We have to embrace the technology offered, use it and share it around. I was reluctant a few years ago when the library I was working at asked all staff to work through the stages of web 2.0 but by the end of it I had to admit it was the way of the future. Overall it was interesting, informative and empowering. A little bit of knowledge goes a long way and being with liked minded people helps to expand your world. 

Interesting home library Sharon. Reading your blog overall has made me smile. I love the added extras, the daily calendar and cheeky quotes. A pleasure to read.
Exercise 2 Blogs:
I agree with you Sharon (and Michelle) The Librarian in Black appealed to me the most as well. It was witty but informative. She intrigued me and made me want to find out more about her and her views. 

The other two blogs are more academic and set out appropriately.

These are two comments I wrote on Michelles' blog:

Exercise 8 Community awareness post:

I enjoyed reading your opinion Michelle on the filter bubble YouTube clip. Your last paragraph poses a good argument. I agree with you. It is a libraries responsibility to offer ALL material (if possible) to its users, it is not their place to filter what information they think their community wants or needs.
Exercise 11 Recommendations:
Impressive list of recommendations Michelle considering Ryde Library makes good use of Web 2.0 applications already. 
You have done some extensive research.
I particularly like the way you have added links to the text, looks good, didn't think to do that. Professional touch.

Overall, your blog looks very clean, neat and is user friendly especially with use of the sidebar.
