I answered a question about metadata on a list, and I thought I'd post my answer in an abbreviated form:Yes, it is still important. ;-D

• Focus on the most relevant terms for a website. At various times, depending on their algorithms, some search engines have truncated keywords at a certain limit 25 words, even 250 characters. Any other that = seo spam So, choose keywords very very carefully and weight the most important ones at the beginning of the keywords list ;-)

• Use all of the metadata FIELDS that you can.

First off, stumbled across springshare which is web 2.0 apps for libraries. I guess it's about time someone created library specific applications to sell back to the library community. Of course, for some libraries with small budgets or suffering budget woes, opensource products or free stuff (del.icio.us) may be the only option. I'm not sure my library could afford to purchase this, if we were so inclined. It would be interesting to see how it stacks up against opensource stuff, though.Out of microsoft labs, 3D modeling stuff.

Okay, so I was trying to pull my feed in from here to a different website, but the feed didn't seem to be working. Thanks to a little searching around on 'net (I couldn't find it anywhere here at blogger), I found the format for the feed:so:http://xxxxxx.blogspot.com/feeds/blog/rss.xmlhttp://xxxxxx.blogspot.com… replace xxxxxx with whatever the blogname is.So, there ya go. Hope it helps someone else out.
