21#Podcasts

I have to use podcasts on home PC as I can't access them at work!!! Great for catching up on missed Radio programmes- also familiar with using iTunes for sampling various musicians. Think using Podcasts on Library website might be a good move to advertise particular events etc- sometimes people react more to sound than nreading od text messages.

20# YouTube

Like lots of people I find YouTube fascinating,lots of interesting video clips, lots of fun. I especially like the TV promos-especially one of my favourites Little Britain. I am a bit concerned over some of the more dubious clips and wonder where all this technolgy will end up

#19Web 2.0 awards

I had a quick look at Lulu.com-would be great if only I had some creative juices to use this site.

I also enjoyed playing around with the Care 2 site-finding sites with petitions to sign was quite easy and I had a bit of fun creating my own petition-only trouble is I can't find where it went! so I won't advertise it until I can find it. Once again to use it you have to sign in and I am sick of signing in, passwords etc.

#18 Zoho Writer

Have just had a little play with Zoho- isn't it great that it is free especially if you don"t have Word on your home computer.

#17 Playing around with PBWiki

I actually had a bit of fun with this one and enjoyed looking at peoples comments about their favourite books, animals etc. This little beauty is very much like my birman but Harry is a bit more choclatty!

#16 Wikki

Using Wikki for book reviews is a great idea-however much of this work seems to be quite time consuming and more suitable for use at home. My major concern with Wikkis is that the information may not be accurate - students would need to be acutely aware of this when researching for assignments.

#15 Library2.0

Wow- now this I did find exciting. I particularly enjoyed reading the "Away from Icebergs" article especially the 1st point-"the just in case collection". After many years adhering to this way of thinking I have over the past 6-7 years felt that we need to take a different approach to our collections.The article "to a temporary place in time" raised some issues regarding the community service aspect which is particularly relevant to the future direction of our library service. Great stuff.

#14 Technorati

I found Technorati dull and boring and didn't feel like wasting time exploring it further

#13 tags and del-icio-us

Have had a bit of an explore-set up accounts and hope they will work when I try again tomorrow- think I may just be getting the hang of all this!

This is what I really call delicious!

#12Rollyo

No idea if I have done this "thing" correctly or if I'll even be able to find it again- I think I am getting worse at this stuff yet spending more time trying to understand it all! `At least I am impressing the kids with words like "blog" and "mash-up"!

snow bunny

I hope that this will count as my Image Generator! I just love air guitars after hearing that one has been offered for sale on Ebay- and some sorry soul has offered $13 for it already!!!!

#11 LibraryThing

The "thing" I like most about LibraryThing is the ability to give me another huge list of books I might like to read-will save heaps of time looking through new book lists etc. and give me more time to READ- together with Flickr the best thing about blogging for me so far

#Image generators

Would be great for creating personal birthday and other greeting cards-also posters etc

#8 & 9 RSS and feeds

Great to access information minus unsolicited advertising- however I seem to have spent and incredible amount of time subscribing to different feeds!

#7 Technology

Technology is great unless you live in the sticks and have to put up with a satellite phone for months- no cellphone reception or landline. This also means no Internet which makes for a very cranky husband!
