Slamming the boards seems very intersting and I think it is a nice way of advertising your library service. I found that some of the questions asked did not have any depth in them and it is not worth trying to answer these questions. Answering the down to earth questions is worth while.
Answer board will work well with the younger generations; the gens X.Y.Z will enjoy exploring these facilities. They are not afraid of technology and are able to cope well with the constant changes. My observation of signatures and tag lines by the librarians was that they were promoting the local library and libraries in general.
Well, it has been quite educational and hopefully I will be able to use them sometime.

Tagging
I found this tool to be very interesting. What a fantastic way to keep abreast of what is happening around you!
They make it sound very easy. I have not opened an account with any of them yet, which I am hoping to do soon. I found Del.icio.us and Library Thing easy to understand. I did not find Technorati very user friendly.
It seems very interesting as one can create a shared bookmark site for a small group. I suppose this tool could be very useful in a teaching environment, when you are doing a project with a small group. This allowas you to share your ideas and receive ideas from others. Same could be true in the library environment as well.

Videos Online
I did explore both and found them very interesting. The ones on the You Tube was better quality than the ones on Google Video. I searched only under libraries and found a good number of them. Mosmen library was good, but most them were very long which did not appeal to me.
I am hoping I will be successful in embedding a video with my blog. I first wanted to include my own video but that didn't work. I think I will be quite satisfied if I can embed a video from You Tube this time.
Yes this is a wonderful tool to use for library orientation, exibitions and other activities. This modern technology will appeal to our young people and we could get them involved. I would like to try it some time.
Well, my embedding of the video is not working. I shall try again tomorrow.
