#17 - Playing Around With Wikis

I'll just say...I'm glad #17 is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WIKI WORLD

Several months ago I accidentially came across Wikipedia. I have been back several times because I think it's an interesting site. I like it because it is an ever changing, work in progress type of web site. I could see it's usefulness in several library areas and I think Chad Boeninger's "Biz Wiki" is a good example.

Fun on a Saturday afternoon

These are the cousins I LOVE making more rotten than they already are! The fun you can have with kids when they aren't yours!!!!!!

# 15 - On Library and Web 2.0

I think of all the articles I enjoyed "Away From the Icebergs" the most. For some reason when I read how everything library has "dramatically in the last decade" I was amused. I was just thinking yesterday how far this library has come since I started here in 1979. To think I use to spend my mornings with an electric eraser (I still have the callus to prove it) changing the holdings in our periodical card catalog. And those awful half cards...I hated those things.

To say that technology in libraries is constantly changing is a huge understatement!

#14 - Technorati

Ok, I liked this exercise better than #13 - Del.icio.us. There is so much information here that it's a little overwhelming, but regardless I do plan to spend some more time with Technorati when I have some down time.

I confess...I really wasn't all that thrilled when "Learning 2.0" surfaced, but it's been extremely educational and fun. Did I just say fun???

#13

Oh my! I didn't care for Del.icio.us at all. Looking at it was like information overload to me. Like most Internet tools I'm sure it's useful...to somebody, but not me. I'm ready to move on to #14. Here's hoping I like it better!

Rollyo

This was interesting. I selected travel & hotels. After making my selections I was amazed with the number of entries that appeared. I don't know for sure that I'll use this again, but it's nice to know it's there.

I guess the one thing I've learned from this blogging experience is all the useful sites that are out out there that I knew absolutely nothing about.
