Favourite things

Blogging, youtube, librarything, tagging,image makers,podcasts, e-audio and some of the award sites. Not necessarily in that order!
I won't be one of those seniors who refuse to learn anything more!!!
I really enjoyed this and thought it was very worthwhile but honestly I felt I didn't have time to work on it with my extra responsiblities and the learning curve I was on already this year.
I felt like the Little engine That Could. Chuga chuga chuga chuga.
Uphill all the way!!!
What would I change? Maybe it would be easier if people worked within a block of activities. Explain?? It seems soooo much to do as a whole project but if it was divided into short blocks or sections, every time you completed a part you would feel some accomplishment.
Yes! yes! yes! I would love to learn more!!!!

award winners

Use Facebook and Picasa.
Couldn't get into Lulu or that whole line of book stuff.
Couldn't get into Acraplay; too many connections.
Looked at cocktail builder as it was the only one I could get into easily and the travel one.
Cocktail Builder: It was all right if you make cocktails. I used a site similar to that but it was a food one.

Zoho writer

I tried a bunch of stuff and pasted a picture of Will as Ali G but when I asked it to send to blog it just sat there. It may have been to big or strange!!
I must tell Will!

Web 2.0

What did you ask us to write about Web 2.0?
I started reading and reading and reading there was always another page to read. So...
On the first page it mentions that we should not be filling our libraries with material we don't use just to have it here.
I agree.
I think tagging will be great and I just can not even dream what metadata will encompass- everything! wow!
In Alberta, the first step is we need free memberships so everyone can have access to our data bases. Next we have to train people to use what is available and see what changes are happening. There is going to be a lot of old people out there soon so we have to reach that generation as the kids should be getting the training in schools. Maybe Libraries have to be ahead of schools!
What does it mean to me? Change and an exciting frontier. I am sure Star trek had a quote for it.

What does it mean to me? Access for everyone

technorati

I thought ho hum other people's blogs but after viewing the
little video I thought it just may be interesting enough to go into when I have the time.
