End of Web 2.0

2009-09-13T14:30:00.000-07:00

Well this is the end of my web 2.0 however I am sure I will continue learning new things as new technology keeps moving forward! It has been a grand trip with lots of ups and downs but I have learned alot. I wonder if this is what our ancestors felt like when airplanes and tons of new inventions including electricity were coming out one after another. Makes me wonder what the future holds!

Wikis

I love using Wikis. They are easy to understand how to use and get input from other people in. We used a wiki for our long range planning group and everyone could comment and see other comments so the feedback was useful. I would use wikis as an alternative to driving around to different committee meetings every month. Have looked at ALA's wikis and various staff ones we have. Really do find making a wiki fun!

social bookmarking sites

2009-08-25T16:27:00.000-07:00

As del.icio.us as it sounds I have only used social bookmarking sites occasionally. Have tried it for flannelboard stories and it did find a few. Also tried it one day for a recipe with tomatoes and did bring up some great recipes but would find it just as easy to google. I could see using it for popular answers to questions we get all the time in the library within the aacpl system.

Online Office Tools

2009-08-24T12:36:00.000-07:00

I tried using the calendar with online office tools but found if you do not check it or are consistant in entering your dates it really doesn't help you as much. I like the fact it gives our patrons another way to do their work and create presentations.

Office tools

Well I am finishing up web 2.0 by signing up for google docs and microsofts' office live workspace. Office live offers me a chance to put my household lists on it as well as my work info. I am not too sure how I will use this but maybe when I want to pass around programming ideas this will be useful.

am twittering now - and now the cats want to get on as well. They don't have anything else to do all day they said. Wonder how much verizon will charge me for a kitty phone?

Facebook

2009-04-20T09:56:00.000-07:00

So I've been exploring facebook lately and have found lots of my friends on it. Great way to keep track of friends that you haven't talked to lately!!

update to my life

2008-12-22T17:15:00.000-08:00

I've been way too busy to keep up with my socializing lately. Finally getting time to start up again. Cats, children, gingerbread men and waffles. On to online office tools! Have signed up for all - now just need to try to use them. Meanwhile Rachel Ray is cooking, the circus is coming and Santa has given out all his candy canes. Hope all had a great year!

Library Thing

2008-10-02T12:36:00.000-07:00

Okay I've done it!!! With lots of help from my coworker and setting up a new password for blogger (since I must have forgotten it once again) I finally have put Library Thing on my Blog. It seems like it will be a great addition, as soon as I can find a few moments to add to it! On to the Next thing!!

RSS Feeds

2008-09-15T18:20:00.000-07:00

I ended up using googlereader as Bloglines kept telling me to verify by answering my email but I never received the email, even checked my junk mail. Googlereader fairly easy - tried thier feed bundles to start but have been adding more. Have also added my blog to my igoogle page which is what I like to use.

Okay, I think I finally figured out how to put a link on my blog. I used flickr to showcase my cats but I could see the library using it to add pictures to the poetry blogs we are starting to have with teens! It might be fun to see how they could enhance their poetry using photos.

This is the whole group -not easy to get them all in one place at the same time. Even harder to get them to look or smile - say cheese just didn't do it!

skyping

I've been learning to use Skype lately - using the webcam and talking to members of my family. I have a son moving to Thailand in a few weeks - has anyone else been there that can tell me about it.

My four cats are really wanting to play. Does anyone have any ideas on new games to play with them?

Daily life
