#23: finished

Well it was a long trip, hard slog, long haul, but i'm finally at the end...yay?
Some of the things were very time consuming, and some tricky to understand (needed help), but generally worthwhile.
Some of these things should be useful, to us and our customers. Bebo was my favourite, saw pictures of my daughter's friend's baby in Oz.

#22: NetLibrary

I took a look at NetLibrary. eBooks are an interesting idea but i'm not sure if they'll catch on, I prefer the real thing. the netlibrary range of books seems limited, couldn't find anything interesting.
kindle looks impressive, but not really my sort of thing.

Week 8: web 2.0 awards list

I had a look at http://www.peertrainer.com/. Lots of strange things, found some people also doing combat classes. Useful little site, diet tips, training and things like that.

podcast

Podcast is the word of the year for 2005 so they say but cant say I have heard it before.I found some things I was interested in but I suppose its the same as some books you read pages to find the small amount of information you need.Maybe this is like my garden a few lovely flowers and a lot of weeds .

Week 9:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=oJ1jIcJVu_4
Youtube is addictive, even my sons go on it. It has bad publicity about the violence that is on it but I could find stuff on Norway might go there one day. Have a white christmas rather than a wet New Zealand one.

# 17 sandbox wiki

Had a look around the sandbox wiki. people's style and methods are interesting. added my blog to favourite blogs, on top of the long list ^_^

Week 8: online applications and tools

It would be an advantage to be able to share with anyone some thing that you have written on Zoho writer.Especially as not everyones home computer has powerpoint. Also it allows people like me who take longer to edit the ability to do it at home rather than at work where time can be limited.

Week 7 Wikis

Welcome to wikipedia the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit... well I feel that information in an encyclopedia is accurate but if anyone can add to or edit wikis then how accurate are they?
I saw that in the Princeton Public Library index of reviews there were 57 reviews for Contempory fiction but only 1 for westerns, understandable I thought, but then I noticed that there was only 2 reviews for romances which are very popular at this library ... not worth reviewing? or so popular they dont need reviewing?

Week 6 Web 2.0, Libraries 2.0and the future of Libraries

The Future of Libraries seems to be computers. I agree with Rick Anderson that the idea is to spend as much time as possible reading and learning rather than wrestling with lousy search interfaces.Books might not be as up to date as the information available on line but they are there in your hand. Must be too old school or showing my age

week 6 Technorati

after taking the technorati tour I entered search term :Learning2.0 blog and got 5939 hits, then learning 2.0 tags got 2 hits as did learning 2.0 directory. I got the impression that my computer wasnt very impressed by Technorati as it entered sleep mode three times while i was in this site so I took this as a sign to exit.

week 6 Del.icio.us

This is not something that I would use.A filing cabinet that you can write your own tags for could be helpful to a lot of people im sure and it could be good to keep some things private from other people but unfortunately it is not something that I would use in my everyday working day and not something that I need in my private life. I did create an account and had a good look and realised its not for me

Rollyo Rollyo oh dear Rollyo

Well the instuctions looked wonderful go to . scroll down etc then oh no what happened ?where am I ? Rollyo doesnt look so wonderful after all and I have spent a lot of time on this and I have stats that need to be
Initially I thought this would be good for akozone homework centre instead of the kids just using google, but not for me.

Library Thing

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/rosemary.schmidt.ks
Usually I choose my books by author, genre or recommendations from people I meet at work, so this is another option. How often I will get the chance to get into this site I dont know.At the moment I have too many books to read and not enough time. Wouldnt it be nice as one person wrote I didnt have to work

Rosemary - prononciation (PinYin) : lù sī mǎ lí

And more Rosemary:

well what to say about these if your name is different you wont find a chinese equivalent and if you spell your name with a capital or lower case letter your brain scan will be completely different . Why do cat lovers get 3 places where they can generate names and dog lovers get none? Some generators had more interesting names than their contents, lots of time could be spent here looking at all the different generators.

RSS

This was time consuming and at times frustrating. It sounded very helpfull but when I typed in straight forward information I was amazed at some of the 'tacky' things that came up.RSS can be helpful when in the cardio room at the gym with no headphones I can get some idea of what they are talking about on the screen. I suppose the more you use something the better you get but I preferred flickr.

3rd party

I dont have a need to make a Librarian trading card this is for others that enjoy this sort of thing I have other things that I would rather do, spend time with my dogs. Maybe if I was more creative and had more time. It does look good, a lot of the things that people have made or done I like the idea of being able to share photos as much of my family is overseas

American terrier

Dogs, my favourite animal looking at this one I can understand why some people are scared of them because they or some breeds are very powerful looking but they can be very soft too.Flickr had some really good photos . I can see where this could be handy for dog breeders interested in selling pups or mating their pets.

week two;social networking

Myspace; went into here and listened to Scribe he went to school with my son but his music is not really me not really into rap more easy listening is my choice of music.This is a link to his music;
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=77134090

Bebo: I have seen my daughters go into this site and thought it was good especially the way they could put photos on their profiles. seems to have good security in that people can not visit your profile unless you invite them.

Facebook; surprised that two of the schools whose names I entered had no listing on facebook, maybe later I will try again to contact ex work mates.
