Google Docs

Wow! This thing is great...posted an email to Nick. I think this is fascinating, talk about time-saving. I can't see myself really using this unless I was collaborating on a project. I would imagine googledocs makes school reports REAL easy when done by groups.

Discovering Feeds On our Catalog

This was sooo easy to use, and I have subscribed to many feeds now. I think I am becoming a bit more creative and familiar with the feeds. Our catalog makes them easy to use for sure.

RSS Feed Readers

I never really knew why the orange thingy was displayed. Today I checked into it a little bit and realized how easy it was to was subscribe to a favorite website. I used this today to see how the Yankees were doing under "Sports". So, I'm subscribed to Sports and Web 2.0. I generally save my fav websites to my Favorites. Can anyone tell me what the real advantage of feed readers is? ~~RSS VS. FAVS~~

Wiki's

I'm cautious with Wiki's as pretty much anyone can add info that may or may not be true. If I'm looking for info on movie stars or entertainment, I may use a Wiki with a grain of salt. Although exploring for this 2.0 thing, I see that you can find jobs, training facilities, etc. I just think for me not being a librarian, it might not be much use? If I'm looking for facts I like to go to a main website or even dictionary!!

Suffolk Wave

This is certainly easy to use. Have your library card handy and start searching...

YouTube

It's amazing how a 3 minute video of someone you don't know or ever will, can change the way you think about life...pretty sobering.

LibraryThing (or two...)

Saved some favs of my own, but also favorites of my daughter's so that I remember to take more books out for her as well.

Facebook

Looove FB, love green, love all things green. Ok--thought FB was just for young dudes, but to my surprise I've been able to reconnect with family from Indonesia and found childhood friends who have moved away...Why is everyone moving to NC? What is it about NC and not SC? Things that make you go hmmmm......

My Craigslist Pick to buy if I could!!!!

I haven't bought anything off of Craigslist, I'm more of an ebay-er. But my neighbor bought a car and he is very happy with it. I'm not really sure if there's a way to see if the seller is reputable or not. I would have to really delve deeper into this website if I saw something that I wanted to buy. If I had the extra cash, here's what I would buy:


Sterling Silver "Return to Tiffany Heart Tag Bracelet". 7.5" long. With original pouch & box. Blank side of heart can be engraved, the other side has the "Return to Tiffany" engraving. Retail $175 - See Tiffany catalog. Best offer over $100. Cash & carry or you pay postage. email or call

Trying out 2.0 and giving it a go.............
