Yeah!!!!!
Well, it was different. There are lots of things I can see myself using a lot, and some things I never see myself using. But I have to say that my favorite thing was #23 - finishing. It did hang over me at times.
All in all I am glad that I participated and I would be willing to do so again, because it was definitely a learning experience.

Wow - I never had the opportunity to really explore all of this, or I should say I never took the time to explore all of this. There is a lot more available that I ever realized. I can see myself using this quite a bit, personally and in working with patrons. Thanks.

Okay, I played around with all of the different podcasts. I added a podcast about children's books to my Bloglines. I really don't see myself ever using this, but I feel pretty comfortable about working with a patron with Podcasts.

This was fun - but there is so much it is overwhelming.
I chose Pinky the Cat - it was the first You Tube I ever saw, but it is still a favorite with me.

I looked at a lot of the sites, but the two I played around with the most were Cocktail Builder from Fun Stuff, and Kayak from Travel. They were things I could see using. I had heard of Kayak but I had never visited the site, but I had never heard of Cocktail Builder.

I really like these sites. Since I work another job, it makes sense to use these, so that I can access what I need from any different computer. I am real impressed. I didn't know this type of site existed.

Okay - it took me awhile but I did it. I don't mind telling you that I'm too old for all this stuff. I always feel like I'm going to panic whenever I start doing some of these 23 things. But it is a sense a accomplishmnet when I figure it out and do it.

Okay, I explored wikis. I'm sorry, but I don't see them as tools for the library and the public. I can see explaining them to patrons and telling them how to access them. I do see them as something very useful in education, especially colleges and universities.

The first perspective I read was "Away from Icebergs" - I understand what he is saying, but I found it very depressing. I think there is great value "library collection." I think our patrons love the idea of books in the printed sense. I can see where some patrons are doing everything electronically, but I think there is plenty of room for both to exist.
The second perspective I want to respond to is "To A Temporary Place in Time"
I enjoyed reading this and I agree. LIke I said above there is room for both, and the library can be a focal point in it all.

I played around with Technorati, and I understand how this works.
However, I don't want anything I write tagged, and I really don't see myself going to see what other people have blogged about that much. I don't know, maybe I will find more uses for it in the future, and in that respect I am glad that I am now more familiar with how it works.

I learned about tagging and I played around with Del.icio.us
I think this is something I can see myself doing to keep track of my favorite websites
It was really interesting to learn about different ways of keeping track of things.
