I detest the term Library 2.0. I don't like the "Social Web" either. I don't tag sites to my Delicious account because I want to share them with other people, I just want all my sites in one place, independent of the machine I'm on. And, as a corporate Information Specialist, I'm not sure what my users would get out of, say, starting up their own blogs. My users are scientists, they don't care that much about the latest developments. They keep up to date by reading pier-reviewed literature. That said, I plan to offer RSS's feeds to my users.
I will definitely use these tools myself. I found Technorati and the other blog directories very useful. All I need to do is work it into my routine. I'm planning on converting all my bookmarks to Delicious. Before I can promote this among library users, I will need to check with our IT.
