I found this visual representation of Library 2.0 when looking through Chelsea Harper and Kate Watson's Powerpoint presentation on wikis and blogs and their use in the libray. I have always liked diagrams and visual explanations of concepts. I think the Japanese do them very well, with their comic (or manga) culture. I am also interested in the idea that games can increase digital literacy as put forward by Paul Gee in his book see info below.

What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy

by James Paul Gee

See this book for a very detailed (and more academic than I expected) look at video games and semiotic domains etc

Later when I find it on my flash drive again I will include a link to a great powerpoint presentation on games demonstrating how the complexities of an interface used be a typical role playing game (RPG) like the popular World of Warcraft prepares game players to adapt to many different software applications.
