Some Facts: Thunder Bay 2.0 over 44,000 on FaceBook over 2,500 YouTube videos over 13,500 Flickr photos
What I’m going to talk about What is Web 2.0? Why we need to be out there What TBPL is doing How to keep up with all this *stuff*: some ideas
Keep in mind… The Web is constantly changing You need a spirit of “play” and adventure I have some experience with this stuff, but don’t consider
myself an “expert” I constantly think about what our “members” /
“customers” want Most of the tools and sites I’m going to be talking about
are FREE! Feel free to ask questions / add your comments and
experiences, so we can all learn together! (very 2.0 idea!)
What is Web 2.0? The “social” web where people interact with each other, and
contribute (comments, tags, photos, videos, reviews etc.) 2.0 Web sites / tools / services include:
FaceBook Flickr Del.icio.us SurveyMonkey Blogs YouTube RSS
And MANY more…
Why we need to be out there: Because our customers / citizens / members / clients /
tourists / users are OUT THERE! We all have Web sites for our organizations, but now we
need more Give people an opportunity to engage with your
organization online, so you can become a part of their social web world
Make it easy for people to find information, give you feedback, and participate in your initiatives
What TBPL is doing: FaceBook social networking Flickr photo sharingDel.icio.us social bookmarking SurveyMonkey survey builderBlogs abbreviation for “Web Logs”YouTube video sharingRSS Really Simple SyndicationChat Reference Sylvia will talk about!

Flickr “ badge” on our site – with direct link to the DQ photo set
Our “ photostream” on Flick
“ groups” of pics from different events
- For private photos from staff functions, I marked them for “ family/friends” only, then invited staff to be “ friend” s – they have to log in to view
-Y ou can “ geotag” your photos – so pin on map where they were taken- there are 3,800 photos “ geotagged” Thunder B ay (reflection of how much local use / presence there is)
