Technorati

What can I say about Technorati, except oh my god. Learning 2.0 has been an exciting and interesting experience for me. I seem overwhelmed at times, but each day I know will be better for me. It is alot to take in, but I am willing to learn new things-even if it is not my cup of tea. Let's just say that Technorati is pretty neat. I especially like that if your looking for something particular and you click on that certain blog, that it will show you a full article or a list of articles. It sounds like I am writing a run on sentence, but I think I understand what Technorati is. I think it is pretty amazing.

Tagging and Del.icio.us

What can I say about Tagging and Del.icio.us-but oh my god. I am lost-most definitely, but I am willing to try new things-of course I am. I can see the library system using this information to help better assisting customers on a faster pace. I think it is a good idea. This is a great tool to have and use. That is all I have this time.

My Space

The experience I had with my space is not good. I looked at it thoroughly, but still don't understand it to well, but am willing to learn more about my space. I know an awful alot of people do use my space and they love it, but it is just not me. However, I am willing to try new things. I know it is an easier way to keep in touch with people-family, friends, etc. Sure my opinion about myspace is different now. That is all I have to say this time.

411 on Social Networking

I think it would be a great idea for the VBPL to use social networking. It is a new a way to communicate with teens. It is advanced and its more efficient to use. The new technology is out there and it is here to stay. Also, since teens are usually on the computer 24/7 doing homework, emailing, etc. why not have social networking in the VBPL, there might be some teens that can not simply make it to the library. I however, don't use this, but am willing to try and learn new things especially new technology, new things on the computer. That is all this time around.

Wikis

Wow-I found wikis very intersting. You can find alot of information on this website. It allows you to easily add, remove and edit contents, which I liked. I especially like the wikipedia, full of information. The new technology of the libraries is coming and here to stay. I noticed every wiki is set up differently, and all has full of information that can be used. I really enjoyed the VBPL Reader's Advisory Wiki-that was real neat. I enjoyed adding my favorite book and talking a little about it too. Wiki is very cool. It is getting exciting each time-learning more and more new things. That is all I have to say this time.

IM (Instant Messaging)

Instant Messaging (IM) is way cool. It is a form of online communication that allows us to communicate with one or more people. It's something like email, but more private. You can also have a group converstion as well-how cool is that. I think it is a great idea that libraries are starting to use IM (Instant Messaging). It is a great new way of communicating with people on line. Also, it helps those people that are unable to get out of the house-no vehicle, the elderly, etc. IM (Instant Messaging) is more advanced and more newer than the old fashioned method that we communicate with people. The bottom line is this IM (Instant Messaging) is so cool. I recommend everyone trying atleast once, but then you will want to use this all the time. It is quick, fast and easy to learn.
