week 7 post 17

I really like iTunes and my iPod. I have had my iPod nano for about a month. I enjoy being able to carry all my music with me wherever I go. It is so much simpler to carry than a portable CD player, CDs and spare batteries. I have also recently discovered a feature on iTunes where I can set the sound levels on different songs myself. I really enjoy my iPod.

I have added my blog to the 'favorite blog' part of the wiki. I personally do not like using wikis as a reliable source of information. I do like to use wikis as a starting point for finding information on something. The only way I can see wikis being useful in a library setting is as a voluntary means of communication between patrons.

I think "To more powerful ways to cooperate" said some nice things about the expansion of communication the technological era. I like the idea that more people will be able to access more information without restriction. I also see a valid point in "To a temporary place in time" where the Library of the future will need to help patrons navigate through the mess of the internet. I still have trouble finding my way to valid, pertinent internet sources when researching various topics.

The search results in the various aspects of Technorati are different. While exploring I did not see anything surprising or particularly interesting when I looked around the website. I generally don't poke around websites and search engines in my spare time.

week 6 post 13

I have explored the del.icio.us site and looked around at things. I can see where this could be used to assist in research, where you would not have to remember every site and you could access your favorites from anywhere. Also, you can see what other people interested in similar things are viewing. I do not think I will use this application because I do not need to be so connected all the time.

I do not need the elf application for myself. The hcpl notices I get via email are enough for me. I can see where LibraryElf would be beneficial to large families who have 8 cards among them. It would help them keep track of all the books the whole family has out.

LibraryThing Widget

I found this step to be very easy. It is interesting to be able to see the covers of some of my books.

week 5 post 11

I find LibraryThing to be a rather interesting website. I can see how many other people share similar taste in books. I can also see what other people are reading to see if I might enjoy those books as well.

It has taken me a while to get this posted properly. The Meez website would not let me upload. Overall, I found this task fun. It was interesting creating an avatar and exploring all the options available to use. Meez.com was the most entertaining to me.

I like the Feedster search tool. It gives a great variety of types of articles and seems to be pretty straight forward to use. I did not have one that I particularly disliked. I just liked Feedster the most. I found some interesting feeds about politics and other news.

week 4 post 8

I just finished signing up for my bloglines account and adding feeds to the account. It seemed to be a straight forward sight that was easy to use. I think having some feeds is a good idea to keep you updated on the world around you, however, I do not think I will have time to read all of them all the time.

I looked at the Colorpicker application. I like how you can choose your favorite color and look at all the photos others have taken of that color.
