Thing 23

Yes I know I'm late but I finally finished. YES!!!!! I had a lot fun with some of these exercises. I don't really think I'm going to keep up with blogging. I'm not the blogging type of person.

Thing 22

I have to admit I don't use audio books at all. I probably would never use them even though I think they could be very useful for people that go on long road trips.

Thing 21

There are a lot of pod casting sites. I really haven't used any of them but after searching I found 1 that I think I would use for my fantasy football. I used podcast alley and found lots of football related things that I could use for my fantasy football league. I think I will come here everyday to check things out.

Week 9 Thing 20

I love this site.

Thing 19

I used google maps and loved it.

Week - 8 Thing 18

I checked out ZoHo Writer and I thought it was pretty cool. I don't think I would ever use it. I either us Microsoft or when I'm home I use open office. ZoHo had some very nice features build in.

Thing - 17

I added my blog to sandbox and it was pretty easy.

Week 7 - Thing 16 Wiki's

I don't trust them very much. Anyway is able to go and edit things, link to other sites, etc. Also there is a lot of information that isn't right. Although Wiki's are good for information purposes you have to make sure the information is correct. I do tend to use Wikipedia a lot but then check other places to make sure its correct.

Thing 15 - Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries

I'm in favor of libraries evolving with technology but at the same time there is nothing like dealing with someone face to face. I also feel that each library has different needs and we should try and cater to their needs if possible.

Thing - 14 - Technorati and learn how tags work

I really don't want to post my blog b/c I'm not a blogger.

Week 6 - Thing 13 Tagging and Discover a Del.icio.us

I have never used del.icio.us before. After reading over and playing around I have discovered this is something that I probably wouldn't use. Even though I find it very interesting.

Week 5 - Online Image Generator

I used the Meez generator. Pretty cool. Some things you have to pay for which I wasn't going to do. So here you go:

Bloglines News

Week 4 - Make Life Really Simple with RSS and a News Reader

To be very honest I've always wanted to try and use rss but im lazy at times :-) Well now I can check them out and learn a little more.

Week 3

I've never used Flickr before but found it was very interesting. I even signed up for an account. When I have a little more time I think I will go back and mess around.

Week 3

I took a picture of me and simpsonized myself.

WEEK 2: Set Up Your Own Blog

My blog is now set up and I'm registered finally. I'm on my way YAHOO.
