Week 8 -#18 - Social stuff?

This week I reached out and "touched" several sites. Thought face book was an interesting place to visit. Never knew how many people had my same name. It was fun to read about what all those people with my name were doing. Very much enjoyed looking at you tube. Lots of people like to write about and video their cats. But the funniest thing was a short cartoon clip about a wake up call from you cat. Never knew this stuff existed. This exercise was very enjoyable. While it was nice to view these sites, it didn't want to make me sign on to any sites. I know it is especialy popular to post your stuff, my family does it a lot, but I'm not convinenced to try it.

Week 7 Post #17 Technology. - CELL PHONES

There is so much to choose from, but I picked cell phones as my topic. Cell phones can do many things besides making telephone calls to your kids and grandma. Phones, for the most part, (I'm only going to address the positives of cellular use) have made our lives easier. I can be connected to the internet, down load music, play games, call my relatives any time day or night, or organize my schedule. The best part is all this technology fits right into my pocket!
I had fun this week adding comments. Mostly I looked at all the cat blogs, because cats are cool.

WEEK 7 #16 WIKI! WIKI!

I added my blog to the ihcpl to the favorites page. Then I speny a considerable about of time browsing wiki. The best thing about wiki is that anyone can edit and add whatever information they want. A possible down side is that anyone can go and delete information, or even post wrong information. I believe that most information posted is monitered so that it would be a rare occurance of wrong data being out there. I can see the use of Wikipedia's free-content source as a good reference tool. The library success site is a great place to share ideas within the library community. There is just so much information, I find it almost overwhelming. So much to read so little time.

Week 6 #15 Library 2.0

I have spent the past several days reading the Library 2.0 articles. Someone here had printed out some the articles on 2.0 so I was able to read and ponder the articles without rushing. I think it is a good tool. With the fast changing world we live in, you can get current up to the minute information, not only book, but also . Like wikipedia you can trust the information is accurate and new. It's a fast way to expose a lot to people to more resources. For several years I have heard my partner talk about metadata and metatags, and now the light bulb as clicked on. I have a better understaning what it's all about. This was a great brain exercise

Week 6 #14 Technorati exercise

After experimenting with the technorati site, I have decided that I do not want to tag my blog. There is too much information out there about me already. I like that fact that you can look up a corporations blog, but I think I can get as much information by just using google, and for me a lot easier. I also found that it helps to be a good speller, because you may not get the site you were seeking. Still, this was an interestingg always good to learn a new approach.

Week 6 #13 T AGS - (Tags R US!)

I learned how to create a delicious accout. I have tagged many sites that I would like to visit again. I can see delicious being a great resource for reference. You can get the most current and up to date information available. It will be great for homework help too. I liked tagging some fun sites, such as finding the most current ways to tie your shoe laces! Also, no matter what computer I use, with this delicious account , I can find these sites that I have tagged.

Week 5 - Post 12 The Library ELF

This is will a great addition. Now I can get emails on my yahoo account. Looking forward to using this feature. What's next? Maybe we can work on a new web site that will employ house elfs to look for our missing books!

Week 5 post 11 Library things

Today was an exercise on my library things. Hard to pick just a few books. Some I have read, others want to read, and a few I want to own. So this site could also be a wish list.

Week 4 #9 Finding Feeds

Did some searching on bloglines looking for new feeds. It will take a little practice on doing this. So far I looked at Topix and Feedster, and the day I was doing this the web was a little slow going to different feeds. I think the feeds that are linked to blogposts are more interesting to look at. Feedster will be good to add a link to your blogs. Topix are just good to read, didn't want add any to my blogs. More down the road.....

week 4/ # 8 RRS

This was an interesting lesson. I signed on to at least 10 feeds it was fairily easy to, with a little help from my friends. It might be hard to pick the one I like the most. It will be fun to track the weather in my home town. Then if I am a loss for words I can just go "quotes of the day" for inspiration. I have also subscribed to my co worker's blog, she has great cats and now I can follow her pictures and postings. Looking forward to see wha'ts next.
