This particular sentence really spoke to me. I want to frame it! (and wish it were true): "We’re also more comfortable with the idea of non-authoritative information being valuable, which is a very important distinction because it means we’re willing to let the information itself be the experience." If by "we" you mean librarians who "get" (heehee) L20, I agree. If by "we" you mean our profession as a whole, I'm not so sure. I think there are large numbers of librarians who would rather go to the backyard and eat dirt then refer a customer (patron, user, client) to a Wikipedia article. Wow, great post John!

KGS: I think we get distracted when we distill the discussion down to tech vs. non-tech--though that is an important component--it's not the end-game. Bonus points to Tombrarian.

I loved second-best: <blockquote>Reading David’s post, I recalled a conversation I had with Stephen Abram quite some time ago where he said he was once asked, "is [so-and-so] Library 2.0-compliant?" Sure, and there is ISO certification for it too. </blockquote> And first-best? That you stayed away from Books Bad, iPhone Good. Oh, good post, Mr. B! I loved second-best:

He could dig his heels in at Q." Woo-hoo...I get bonus points. That's probably one of my favorite passages from one of my favorite books. “Here, at least, was Q. He could dig his heels in at Q.”
