At the recent start up meeting for projects in the JISC Information Environment Programme 2009-11 some people suggested that it might be useful to produce a guide to using web 2.0 services in JISC projects.
With the help of Brian Brooks of the Clarion project, I have written the guide. It focuses on using tags to aggregate content about and related to the projects, to communicate about the project and to monitor any discussions related to the project.
The guide is quite long and likely to only have a relatively short shelf life so we have decided to serialise the guide on this blog and deposit the complete document in the ie repository.

I’ld like to summarize the discussion here so that the important points raised get a wider airing; however it is a feature of these high quality discussions like this one that people learn and change their mind as a result, so I please don’t assume that people quoted below still hold the opinions attributed to them. (Fro example, invisibility on Google turned out to be far from the case for some resources.) If You would like to see the whole discussion look in the JISCMAIL archive
