Many thanks for providing the video and the Slideshare of your #CILIP-CYMRU09 event. I missed your presentation because I was “on a mission” for the following speaker at the conference, so I greatly appreciate this opportunity to catch up!

Within the professional sphere Web 2.0 as a term and concept remains misunderstood and confused, and I guess to many people therefore comes with a fear of change and of the unknown. You’ve done a lot to dispel this misunderstanding and fear here, in a very balanced and helpful overview. Joeyanne’s page provides a useful example of how Web 2.0 isn’t just about Facebook and Twitter, but is the working integration of a number of tools, all enabling dialogue and sharing. The examples you provide of the NLW using social web tools also add credibility and weight to these services.

My challenge now, along with many I suspect, is to think how Web 2.0 should inform and change my professional practice so that I can be more effective in my role. Thanks for encouraging and supporting this professional and personal quest.
