23 things

Well that's the end of it. I may not have gotten everything right but it was interesting to hear about some of this stuff. A certain amount of it I had heard of before but some of it was completely new. I wouldn't want this to be an ongoing thing although I realize that there will be new stuff always on the horizon to be aware of.

Thanks.

MOLDI

MOLDI could be useful but I didn't find any titles that interested me.

Podcasts

Podcastalley.com was interesting. I just picked a podcast:

Podcasts could be useful in some ways.

YouTube

I like YouTube. You can find things there that you thought you would never see again. I found a trailer for General Cinema Corporation from the 70's and I loved it. Library customers could find similar items. I tried to embed it a number of times but was unable. Something is different with the embed and it won't copy and paste the entire line, which is a shame. I'll provide a link below.

CML's 2.0 tools

I took a look at Stumble Upon from the Tool Box and signed up for it. It seems like a pretty interesting site. I might use it some in the future to find interesting web sites and see what interests some other people.

Web 2.0 Awards

I went to Last FM under music and looked around. It was interesting that you could meet different people with the same music interests and find out about music you might like that you hadn't heard of before. Could be used as a tool in the library for helping customers find out about other music they might enjoy and connect with other people, too.

google docs

I wouldn't use something like this; I just prefer to use what I have at home on my computer. Perhaps customers would want to use it so that they don't have to carry around a disc wherever they go that they want to work on it.

wikis 2

Never did manage to make any postings on the wiki thing! Tried for a couple hours and just couldn't get it to work.

wikis and such

I just love Wikis. Really I do. I read Wikipedia all the time. The only real potential problem with them is accuracy, and at times relevancy. I don't know how much the library would be able to use them - perhaps for book discussion groups or for people who wanted to share the kinds of books that they like to read.

library 2.0

Well, library 2.0 certainly will be a lot to keep up with, won't it?

delicious

I looked through delicious and the social-networking aspect is not for me. The 'favorites' listing on my computer seems to be all that I really need. Some people might find it useful though.

Twitter

My username is surewhatever. Twitter seems like it would be more appealing to younger people.

Library Thing

I made an account and put in a bunch of books. Cheers.

Talk about fun!

RSS feeds

I have a minimal need for RSS feeds but it's nice to know that they're out there. I took a look at Topix.net and Syndic8.com and the rest. Little bit too much information for me but it's nice to know it's there.

bloglines and stuff

the bloglines website is somewhat interesting. I had a very hard time adding the BBC news website that I wanted, but eventually it all worked out. I have a minimal need for RSS feeds but it is nice to know about what other people are doing. My blogline webaddress is:

technology

In this modern world in which we live today, we must use technology in almost everything we do.

Miss Wilson in her third grade class a la David Nixon - just in case he decides to start blogging along with the rest of us!

flickr montagr

The montage pictures were interesting but could have been better. I found a lot of good pictures of Volkswagens!

Looked around Flickr for a while and found some interesting pictures. Put a link to one that I liked down below. Thanks.
