Thing #23 Summarize 23 Things

T.G.I.O. -
Here are a few of
my favorite things
- Online image generators, Library
thing,Youtube and Yelp.com (from Web 2.0 Awards list), podcasts and also Overdrive. (I also gave Yelp.com to a patron who was looking for a site to help with restaurants in New York City.)

I'll use some of the information that was presented in 23 things, but not all.

The take-aways for me were tagging , flickr, technorati.

The exercises could be more user-friendly for the people who are not
computer savvy. (Thank you Jo
Powers
for the help that you gave to me and to everyone
else.)

I would most definitely participate in another one.

I had good days and I had bad days. The good days out weigh the bad ones,
I stuck right in there to get this done. Blogs are interesting. So I
think I will keep on blogging for now. So hats off to 23 Things.

Thing#22 Learn about Audiobooks

Hey,

LOVE, LOVE Overdrive - I already have an account with them. Love that I can read books rights on my compter or I can print them out. I don't like anybody reading to me, so I will not use the feature for listening to them. But what a cool service!

Thing#21 Podcasts

Loved the Yahoo Podcast, especially the music ones. Also looked for podcasts related to libraries. I couldn't look at those because they need additional plugins. Some of the topics looked really interesting.

Thing#19 Web 2.0 awards list

Really liked doing thing 19. Found the website yelp.com. This will really come in handy for when I go on trips because it give you everything to restaurants, shopping, night life (really love that ) and also beauty and spas.

I can see myself using this on the reference desk if a patron asks for this type of info.

Thing#18 Online productivity

I can see myself using Google docs. Way Cool.

Thing #17 Sandbox Wiki

Big Whoop! Just playing around with this was boooorrriiinnng! Had to get help in order to post my blog to this thing. Thanks Jo for the help.

Thing #16 Wikis

Really neat stuff on wikis. You just have to look at it with a grain of salt when reading wikis. Because everything you read on them might not be true. I really liked the Bull Run Library wiki. Cool stuff on their site.

Thing #15 Web 2.0 & Library 2.0

Hey folks,

Libraries are here to stay. There is nothing like
reading a book from the the library. It's free. Technology is always
changing, and it is here to stay. We just need to keep up with technology so it won't leave us in the Dark.
