Session Six: Library Thing

I love it! I have joined up for early reviewer and member giveaways (ebooks for review) and will certainly continue to use.

Session Six Del.ici.ous

Wow! I love this. What a great concept. I could be on the net forever with this... well, except for eating, sleeping, work, oh yeah - and the family. This would have to be my favourite of all the web 2.0 tools so far.

Session Five Wikis

Well, I've done it... but am still not 100% convinced of the value of something that anyone can alter. Mindst you I can see the inherent value for use in the library service as a publicity device.

Session Four

Well, I did this a week ago and went on hols so am only now getting to the blog part. I can see the allure of podcasts and video on the net but... I find it frustrating if it takes too long to load the videos - you get visual but lose the audio which kind of negates the purpose.



I think they could be used as great marketing tools, though. I know that a number of public libraries (particularly in the states) podcast their activity sessions... can't get to preschool storytime because the kids are sick? Fine, download the podcast. Although it's a way of advertising without paying upfront advertising costs, staff time to maintain and update would need to be taken into consideration.



I added two video links into this blog because I couldn't choose between them... and RSS feeds to bloglines. I even updated my avatar the other night from home!

Photos from Flickr to blog

Hmpph! Could not get this to work - even with Bernie's help...

Session Three: Flickr

Well, it's done. I've uploaded photos... added tags and descriptions and even "picniked" one of them. So far so good...

Getting a bit adventurous...

Yay! I did it. Worked out how to get my avatar into this blog. I am so proud of myself.
