Delicious

Delicious was an interesting place to visit. I shared the site with my co-workers and they liked the idea of having a place to put your favorites from anywhere but like myself they like being able to use others bookmarks like those that belong to groups.

Some of the tags that I think would work on the Nebraska Library Commissions Website would be: Learning, Research and Info.

I feel that it would be a great idea to make bookmarks that a group could use for a book discussion and then teach the group how to use it.

Twitter

Well this Twitter was quite interesting. I read about other people working on 2.0. I followed another librarian from Nebraska and his days. It was amazing how close you feel to the writers when you read about their day to day happenings. I am sure their would be so advantages to using it at the library. Alot of our patron would love to read about the day to day happenings at the library and share their lives with us also. I did like micro blogging and seems like you could keep in touch with just a few short words.

Library thing

I think this will be great to review new books and also by putting it on your website, people can have book discussions and get suggestions on other good reading material. I really enjoyed looking at what others have added. I also liked reading about featured authors. http://www.librarything.com/profile/mprohaska

TECH TALK


I like the new iPod Touch a lot, my son has the 32gb and he is always showing me new stuff on his iPod Touch. There are many different apps and games to play around with on it. You can also access the internet and YouTube. He has the new 2nd Gen. that just came out not too long ago, the differences between 1st and 2nd Gen. are a built in speaker a new sleeker design also there are a few software updates. iPod Touch comes in a 8gb, 16gb and 32gb and has a 3.5 inch touchscreen. I also read in one of my computer magazines that this was the best mp3 player of the year.

GENERATORS


This was amazing, there are meny different generators to work with, This is definitely my favorite one. http://www.dumpr.net/

Flickr Fun!

This is so much fun, I always wondered how those pictures got so messed up - the tool I enjoyed the most was call "Dumpr" There were many different fun apps to add and manipulate photos and have fun while doing it. One of the ones I especially enjoyed was amazing goo, I will have to send my college children some of the pictures. They will be amazed.

This was a lot of fun and a tool I will definitely use in the future. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34803983@N06/3232256067/
