Keeping Up With Social Networking Tools

Toronto blawger Connie Crosby has put together a good summary of various social networking tools for the website LLRX.com.

Her article, entitled The Tao of Law Librarianship - Keeping Up With Social Networking Tools, describes how librarians are using tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Ning, and Twitter:

"You have been reading blogs, and perhaps even commenting on some. You have found an RSS feed reader (aggregator) and monitor your favorite news feeds and blogs on a regular basis. You might have even set up a wiki or two. The question is...is that all there is to Web 2.0?"

"Well, to be honest, you have only just scratched the surface of the new social network-ing tools. There are quite a number of web tools, applications, and "widgets" that com-prise the new social media, and new ones are being released daily. It is a challenge to keep up with them".
