A blog of my responses and reflections on web 2.0 applications and how they relate to my work in public libraries. Should be fun.

Ning a ding-ding

Recently I was asked to participate in a workshop for the redesign on the Council Intranet, specifically the access to information about different departments and individuals.  If I had seen a Ning previously I would have just suggested forming one for the Council. 

I like that each person has their own page for a photo and contact information... maybe a link for photos or other important sites.  I like that they can be affiliated with groups or departments within the network so others can search for you either by your name or  department.  In council I know we wanted an interactive business structure that can show the relationship between departments Clicking on them would bring up the department page and links to staff in that department.  I could see Nings being very suitable for thall these applications.

Outside of work I suggested to a co-worker that setting up a Ning network for her large family.  Everyone, even the youngest can have a page and add blogs, comments, events, send birthday greetings...etc.  An awesome application.

Still waiting for the Administrator for Library 2.0 to approve my application, but I'll add a link here as soon as it is.
