What does Semantic Web mean? In general? For libraries? How do standards of semantic web relate to library data storage standards? How does this blend/mesh with social elements / social operating systems of Web 2.0 sites?
Ustream, veodia, seesmic and other lifestreaming live video services
Live conferencing software/sites - DimDim, Elluminate, yugma, webex,
What does "free" mean in the context of libraries and new web tools : (see: Free - why $0.00 is the future of business and better than free )
Those are awesome suggestions, sirexkat! I'm particularly interested in the lifestreaming stuff...I've been thinking about how conference models just completely break apart when stuff like kwik is ubiquitous.
What about OpenId and identity management?
