Thing 25-Podcasting and Libraries

I thought this site was neat. I checked out Sheridan Libraries Podcasts, and there site was very user friendly. In fact some of the information it had reminded me of our own website. Again, I read, I looked at, I tried what I did or coud know, but again this is not my cup of tea. I think if you have customers that want to know or learn about podcasts more power to them. This could be useful information for customers too. Anyhow, that is all I have to say about that. Until next time.

Thing 24-Podcasts

I had trouble with this one. One of the tools you clicked on it would not allow to access, so I chose another one, and I am sorry I could not locate anything dealing with the library or anything about library news. Now, I did like the yahoo podcasts-audio part, however, some of the downloads you have to fork over money to purchase-which I did not like about. Over all I read it, I looked at it, and tried what I could, but again this not my cup of tea. That is all this time.

Thing 23-You Tube

What can I say except this was a neat site. It sure back alot of memories especially the 70's commericals. I especially liked the slinky, inchworm ones the best. The McDonld's commerical was so funny. In fact I remembered when it was on TV. I can't say I disliked this site, but it is not my cup of tea. I did some looking, and reading and from that I have learned quite a bit. YouTube is neat, but not for me. That is all I got to say about this.

Thing 22-Flickr, mashups and 3rd party sites

OH MY GOD-am I totally lost-yes, but may I say WOW too. This is amazing of what you can do. I think it is really neat that you can make your own trading cards. WOW-how amazing is that. Who would ever thought that there would be "library trading cards". I think this is really neat, but again not my cup of tea. If you are really into doing stuff like this, then this is for you, but I am just an average girl. It is also amazing that you can make maps, match pictures to a specific color and create a photo mosaic from photos found on Flickr-now that was pretty neat. Well, that is all this time.

Thing 21-More Flickr and tagging

What can I say, except I think it is real neat that you can make books, cards, frame prints and beyond more than that with Flickr, especially if you enjoy being creative. Now, I think the tagging of your photos is really neat too, because just say your looking for a specific picture and you need it right now, you tag your pictures and bam look for the pictures, and bam you got your certain picture that you needed. That was awesome. Both are really neat, if it is your cup of tea.

Thing 20-Flickr

What can I say about Flickr, except that if you like taking pictures and posting them on the web then this site is for you. I on the other hand wouldn't want to post pictures on the web to me that is private. Unless it was only family members then I may consider sending them. What can I say but I am old fashion gal, I do not even have a digital camera yet. However, if I enjoyed taking lots of pictures and enjoyed posting them, then yes this site is great for it. I could share it with everyone, or whoever would love to see them. Again, wow technology what we do without it.


Thanks Diane for letting us use your flickr site. I like to say that it is a pleasure working with a great bunch of people at OF. You all are awesome.

Thing 19-Web 2.0 Awards List

Now-I thought this was awesome. I had a co-worker walk me through it and when everything was done-like I said WOW, I am impressed about this. I loved it, I really do not dislike anything about this. The sites were very useful. I could definitely see applications use in the library system. I went through igoogle-which now I believe I have an account through, if i set it up right. I liked that you could add different lists to your igoogle page. I thought I loved the social networking better, but this so far is the one I like the best. I think I am getting to understand a little of each thing, but then sometimes I get overwhelmed. Basically, I just try and take each day as it comes. Until next thing.
