Week 6, Thing 15

I read some of the articles about Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries. I did find it to be very interesting but since we are talking about the future no one can say for sure what will happen. All I know is that everything changes and so just as alway libraries will adapt. Besides we are always looking for ways to improve our services!

Week 6; Thing 14

I explored Technorati and claimed my blog. Did several searches for Learning 2.0 and the results were the same! I can understand why so many people use this site. It is helpful to be able to mark your friends and/or favorite blogs and not have to keep track of each one that you plan on checking on a regular basis.

Week 6; Thing 13

I listen to the the tutorial, didn't really get much from it. I then thought I would set up an account an explore del.i.cio.us to give me a better idea of all it had to offer. After going through the steps of setting up yet another account, it wanted me to install two buttons into the browser. I didn't think this was a good idea so I didn't finish with setting up an account. I don't see the point in adding these buttons unless I am going to actually use this site. I then decided to just look at some of the most popular tags. I can see why some people may really like this service, if they spend a lot of time surfing the net.

Week 5; Thing 12

So I played around with Rollyo and I am attaching a link to the search rolls that I created. Since I am really not a big web searcher, I don't really see the point in rollyo. Although I do find it fun to learn about all the things that are out there, I don't really see the point in this one.

Weeek 5; Thing 11

Library Thing is a lot of fun and a great way to keep track of books you have read. I can see myself actually using this site and keeping it update when I have time. For right now I am going to attach just a few of my favorites.

Week 4; Thing 9

This subscribe process on Merlin was not easy. I would have thought that the button at the bottom that says "SUBSCRIBE" really would allow you to subscribe. Good thing my very smart co-worker could help me figure this one out. I look forward to reading all the feeds on the Merlin site when I have nothing else better to do.

Week 4; Thing 8

I set up an RSS account but I really don't get it. I mean it is nice to be informed but I think it is a little over the top for me. I can't see myself really logging back on and checking this account. It was really overwhelming to see all the messages that were waiting for me to read, who has time for this....
