Thing 19

Well now, I wanted to test out something fun so I went for Cocktail Builder. This is so cool! It is especially handy for people who entertain frequently. You can find many cocktail recipes by using this tool. Also, you can create a "favorites" list. Now I don't know how this could relate to libraries. Unless library cocktail lounges become a new trend?!

Below is the test document from ZOHO Writer. I played around with a spreadsheet too. I really enjoyed this exercise. I already have a Google account and use the Google calender so I choose to play with ZOHO. The only drawback to these online tools is that they are not as "secure" as Word documents. What I mean is that as long as the information isn't "top secret" one can feel fine about using these tools.

Thing 18: ZOHO Test document

This is a test document for Web 2.0.

Thing 17 :Part 2

I kind of fixed my mistake. If nothing else this "Thing" has taught me the importance of "spaces" when typing URLs.

PBWiki. Well that was interesting. I'm sure I messed up somewhere! I know for a fact I added my blog to the FAVORITE BLOGS page twice and they are probably both in the wrong place. Anyway, I did add my two cents to the FAVORITE BOOKS section and the FAVORITE MOVIE section. I can safely say this was my least favorite "thing" so far! Sorry for such a negative post.

Thing 16

Wikis. Having been familiar with Wikipedia and the concept behind it, I had an idea of what they were. I didn't know there were so many!! I checked out the wiki examples and found a couple I really liked. I enjoyed BOOK LOVERS WIKI very much. This could be very handy in the future when searching for a review or a synopsis of a book. I also liked the SAINT JOSEPH'S COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY subject guides. The ease of use was terrific and I like how you can click on a subject and it will bring up a definition page as well as some examples of titles the library owns.

Thing 15

I read a few of the perspectives on library 2.0 and found the most interesting one to be "To a Temporary Place in Time" by Dr. Wendy Schultz. Her thoughts and how libraries will evolve were exciting and positive. I am anxious to see how libraries will evolve in the next 10-20 years.

Thing 14

Technorati is quite fun! It is such a cool way to find out what the "hot topics" are out there in the blogosphere. I did a little searching for topics I like and found many of the blogs I read regularly in addition to others.

Thing 13

I already have a del.icio.us account so for me this step was good to find out different ways people use it. I have to be honest here, I really don't find myself using it all that much but I can see how it would be useful to others.

Thing 12

I can definitely see myself using Rollyo again. It is an easy way of locating and sharing websites on a number of topics.
