When I was freshly thawed out, and desperate to learn about your modern world, I watched a lot of children's TV. The colors were bright, the songs were happy, and they broke things down in a way I could understand. Well, except for the Teletubbies. They just confused me.
Now I am a librarian, out in the workforce, and I hear someone talk about Fanggle, Boopsie and Mosio. I think these must be new characters on Sesame Street. Or a new cartoon. And I get a soft feeling for those shows I used to watch. But no, I am told these are companies offering new mobile products for libraries.
Fanggle and Boopsie make it possible for libraries to provide a bunch of services through mobile devices. Mosio has a Text a Librarian service.
I keep running into this sort of thing. It confuses a cavewoman. Twitter, Flickr, Google, Beebo, Wiki, ooVoo, Meebo, Moodle....They all sound like muppets to me.
