Thing 13

Well, I twittered! I had never heard of twitter before but Sunday morning, just the day after I started my twitter, I had Fox & Friends on and they were asking people to twitter them!

I don't think that I would use this in my personal life. I use facebook to keep up with family members and what is going on in their lives, but don't really have time to follow people I don't know.

The NLC Reference was interesting but after awhile, it seems like it would be alot to
sift through. One library I found was using twitter to add new titles that their library had added onto their homepage.

Thing 12

This would be great if I purchased alot of books - it would be a great way to keep track of what I had on my shelves (virtually)! I added a couple favorite authors and added them to my gallery and author cloud. This could definitely be a source for reviews when I want to try a new author also. I could see that this would be great for people to keep track of what they read but don't know if it would be worth the time involved for some.

Thing 11

Technology - it is wonderful when it works and irritating when it doesn't! I enjoy being able to keep up with extended family using facebook & email and searching internet for things I need (especially travel info) but I don't like spending hours and hours on the computer - have lots of other interests in my life!

Thing 10

Did a magazine cover of Garon with the picture taken a couple years ago here at the library for Valentine's Day. It turned out really cute! Will do a poster yet to try one of the other applications.

Thing 9

These applications are interesting but I don't think I have seen anything that I would want to use in my own life.

Thing 8

I added a picture to my blog using flikr - this is quite a bit like using facebook adding photos, video, etc.

This is our staff picture at LMR's retirement party. We had a lovely dinner together!

Thing 7

I tried the different blogline finders and found a few I was interested in. I was really happy to find one that pertains to Hastings!
The Google Blog search was easy to use and Topix.net has links for lots of current information.

Thing 6

This was fairly easy to set up and add the feeds suggested. I have tried to go to some of my favorite sites but they don't have bloglines, so it doesn't help me with some of the sites I visit on a regular basis. It is great though to have the newspapers I like to read all in one spot so I don't have to go to different links.

I'm not sure how this would help in the work situation. I guess I'll wait to see if others at work have any suggestions on how it would work.
