Week 9, # 23

This was a very worthwhile learning experience. I enjoyed my discoveries, particularly flickr, youtube, and online image generators.In my opinion, the "rss" took more time than I expected. It probably varies from person to person. I like to explore things, and so I went down many side-tracks along the way...some more time-consuming than others. yes... I am definitely going to do something like this again...

Week 9, # 22

I created a netLibrary account and searched for e books in the library collection. E books are very good because many users can download one book at one time by downloading them, which makes it very easy when availability of book is limited. Another reason it is good since it is a very good way to preserve old books because digital copies can easily be copied from one computer to another which makes one good copy of book un-damageable. Almost all of the popular books are available as books to download so everyone should play around with them

Week 9, # 21

Ok this took a bit of time. I just could not find any podcast that I liked. I was looking for Business Studies and didn't pull anything up. I finally found something related to Business management. However I did find alot of things on different foods and resturants I liked. I think I liked the food podcast the most because it had pic's.

Week 9, # 20

I found one of the Sai Baba Aarti which I added to You Tube. I love the Sai Aarti.

YouTube is fun. I've also tried Google Video and AOL. These are all about the same. Easy to use and possibly a way to get the word out about library programs...teens in particular. One of these could be part of a libray's teen site or blog.

Week 8, # 19

I browsed Web 2.0 awards list and liked Technorati because If you're really into blogging and reading other people's blogs then this is for you. I would use this occasionally and only for ....say what's being blogged about the current political climate, political candidate blogs, the latest in libraries. This is a very good site.

Week 8, # 18

I opened the Google Docs account, and now I'm trying it out. I love the idea of sharing documents on a site so that they can be edited and reviewed by different people. Actually, from a public library standpoint, the ability to save a document to a website is great. So many times we have customers using public computers who do not have a disc or flashdrive to save their work. Maybe it will be a viable option to steer some customers to Google Docs or Zoho. Then they can access their documents later or email them directly to where they need to go.

Week 7 # 17

I had a little trouble with creating the link for the blog in PB Wiki. I finally got the page linked, though. In the process, I thing I created a new page that may be lost or erased somewhere in the wiki. Actually, I went back to the Favorite Blogs page, and I did see the page listed under recent activity
