1.  COMMENT
--------------------
Marion, Catherine and myself wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year!

Resources Newsletter web pages to make it easier for anyone who wants

appropriate graphic (e.g. sub:bloglines, or sub:feedster, etc) in

I attended some sessions at the recent Online Information 2005
conference in London - (see also the Online Information blog at:
http://blog.online-information.co.uk/ ). I won't attempt to write up
my notes from these sessions for this newsletter, but I would like to
highlight a couple of things.

Firstly a very interesting presentation given by John Dale, about the
Warwick University Blog Project. Warwick University give all their
students and staff the opportunity to develop a blog. See:
http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/   This has proven to be really popular,
and has had many unexpected benefits.  The blogs are used for work,
learning, support, keeping in touch with friends/social, sharing
information, etc., and have helped to build a real sense of community.
John Dale reported that the university has actually learnt a great
deal about the opinions of its students. See also the Library Blogs at
Warwick: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/groups/LB

In another presentation, Peter Scott spoke about his RSS Compendium
http://allrss.com/ This is an excellent source of information about
RSS, and includes directories, readers, blogs about RSS, etc.

According to various speakers at Online, folksonomies and tagging are
becoming increasingly important. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagging

Web 2.0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0 presents exciting
opportunities for networked information of the future. ("Many recently
developed concepts and technologies are seen as contributing to Web
2.0, including weblogs, wikis, podcasts, rss feeds and other forms of
many to many publishing; social software, web APIs, web standards,
online web services, AJAX, and others.").

For more interesting discussions about such things, see The Hive Mind:
http://infotangle.blogsome.com/2005/12/07/the-hive-mind-folksonomies-a
nd-user-based-tagging/

For a more complete overview of the Online conference, see Allan
Foster's observations in Free Pint:

Random Quotes
"In the December 2005 survey we received responses from 74,353,258
sites. That's a decrease of 219.5K sites from the November survey,
marking the first decline in the Netcraft survey since January 2003.
Thus, a record year for Internet growth has ended with a whimper
rather than a bang. After gaining 17.5 million sites in the first 10
months of 2005, the Internet lost 30,000 sites over the next two
months." Netcraft http://news.netcraft.com/

3.  NICE WEB SITE
----------------------------
In the course of finding sites of interest for this Newsletter, we
sometimes come across Web sites which we feel deserve slightly more
than a passing mention. Each month we will pick out one or more such
sites, and give them a short review. The sites will normally be UK
based, may be small or large, and be of interest or potential interest
to academics. After lengthy discussions we have decided, with
incredible creativity :-), to call these: Nice Web Sites. Details of
previous Nice Web Sites are available in the Nice Web Site Archive.

Three websites this month use social/collaborative/folksonomy
networking techniques, and are definitely worth further investigation:
