Thing #12

Just signed up for twitter and am following some CML staff. We'll see....frankly I am skeptical about how this can really impact my life.

Thing #11

Library Thing is pretty cool. I'm also interested in looking at Goodreads to see how they are different. I was hoping it would be easy to create a list of titles I haven't read yet, but I wasn't able to figure that out quickly. Definitely a place I'll go to. I really want to explore it. Wouldn't it be cool if we used it in our division to track new books we are reading; potential award winners, etc. I also wonder how this or GoodReads could be used to track Outreach customers books they want to ready. How cool that I could download it to my blog. Great exercise.

Thing #10, again

OK, this is hilarious. I did this on Generator Blog: Yearbook Yourself. Very sfunny!

Thing #10

Finding a golden egg. Finding the golden ticket in a chocolate bar. There is something very magical about gold. I remember when I was in 4th grade my teacher read aloud from this new book: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I have always been on the look out for golden nuggets of one kind or another.

Thing #9

These tools are great to help locate blogs and other sites to add to MyYahoo. Using technoradi and syndic8 I was able to find some posts about children's books and my NCAA Women's Basketball. I tried topix, but didn't like it as much. I also can search MyYahoo and find the same resources. That's the thing I love about MyYahoo. It's all right there at my fingertips...easy to use. Got to get to Thing #10...Time is a wasting.

Thing #8

I didn't have the time to really try to figure out bloglines. It is confusing to me. However, I hava a MyYahoo account and saved several RSS feeds to it, including the ones given in this exercise. I'm please with MyYahoo...so I'm moving on to Thing #9. Time is quickly running out.

Thing 7: Anything Technology

Technology is moving so fast it's hard to stay on top of it. Luckily we have staff experts in the building who I can call upon to help me...thanks SBN techs, Armchair Coach, and Sureiswindy!

Armchair Coach keeps twittering and talking about some cool sites like Library Thing and wikis. So I am motivated to figure out how I can use these so I can keep track of my readings. Also, I think we can do a lot with Library Thing in Outreach for our Homebound and Book By Mail customers that will help with efficiency. Finally, it will be interesting to experiment with wikis and google docs with my staff.
