Thing 23

2007-09-04T09:53:00.000-05:00

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

2007-09-04T09:14:00.000-05:00

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

2007-09-04T08:59:00.000-05:00

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

2007-09-04T08:55:00.000-05:00

I love this site.

Thing 19

2007-09-04T08:49:00.000-05:00

I used google maps and loved it.

Week - 8 Thing 18

2007-09-04T08:38:00.000-05:00

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

2007-09-04T08:37:00.000-05:00

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

Week 7 - Thing 16 Wiki's

2007-09-04T08:08:00.000-05:00

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

2007-08-22T13:35:00.000-05:00

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

2007-08-22T13:23:00.000-05:00

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

2007-08-22T13:11:00.000-05:00

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

2007-07-30T14:14:00.000-05:00

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:

2007-07-30T11:32:00.000-05:00

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

2007-07-30T11:25:00.000-05:00

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.

2007-07-30T11:15:00.000-05:00

2007-07-12T09:14:00.000-05:00
