23 Summarize your thoughts

YAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very pleased that I did and I learned a lot of new stuff! Some thoughts:
I feel proud of the appearance and graphics on my blog-though apparently no body reads it :(
The exercises took a LOT longer than I expected. Like everything on the Web, you stay on longer because you see unrelated interesting things that veer you in another direction. I now have a better idea of so many other things on the Internet that patrons are doing on PCs other than games and Google.
A suggestion for future...
I think many of us found that the most difficult thing was trying to keep track of our log ins, user names, passwords, etc. and keep them in order. I did not do a very good job of it, just printing out reams of paper, directions, writing on pages, etc. Maybe furnish a heads up "cheat sheet" of websites and internet resources that staff are goint to go to with blank spaces for staff to record their user names and password informaiton would be helpful. I would NOT have finished (without cussing to myself even more) without help from coworkers.
I would have given staff to the end of May to complete. I would likely participate in future programs. Even Luddites evolve!
Thanks Carolyn, Virginina, et al.

22 podcasts

Looked at various podcast directories and listened to Doctor Dawn podcast.

Subscribed via RSS to NPR 10 a.m. newscast.

21 youtube et al

Looked at youtube (which I was familiar with) as well as PPLD YouTube Channel, Yahoo and Google videos. Question-have we ever gotten any complaints for PPLD YouTube? The way our PPLD YouTube Channel came up this morning, "related videos" from youtube itself was on right side column and had Perez Hilton featured which is a campy celebrity video website.

Note to Hillary-GET the hell out!

#20 web 2.0 awards

Looked at a number of things including Guess the Google, games2web.com, Metacafe.
Good that a number of things nominated we have done in our 23 Things! e.g. Technorati, Flickr, Del.icio.us, Rollyo, etc. When I get a chance I will still look at the listings for Questions and Advice as might be pertinent to job.

Zohobachery!

I kinda liked Zoho Writer.  A couple of observations.  BUSY page w/many of of the features "upfront."  I liked that the strikethru strikethrough was right up fron to use!  Always difficult for me to find on Word.  Also, the emotions thingy !!

 

OK now how in the heck do I send this to my blog????

Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

Read a few articles on this. Seemed like some of the key points-The library network is seen as a platform, fostering participation, collaboration and sharing. All hopefully to benefit our patrons.
