Thing 5 , thing 6

Hello! Flickr is fun. I set up my account and loaded some pic's from my computer. I tired taking pic's from the net. There are so many possibilities. More than I really have the time to explore. So many ways we could enchance our services and punch up our web sites. Making pictures of library events available on flickr, making a flickr show of all the services we offer, so the public is aware of how Libraries are evolving!

I set up my RSS feeds and now I only have to find the time to read all the items that interest me! I feel as though I am at a feast and my eyes are bigger than tummy is!

Then I go to twitter and find out I have an account, but no one to really twitter with! So, I sent some invites to co-workers. So some of you join me, so we can twitter together~

Thing 3,Thing 4

Well, Thing 3 was easy.. I set up google reader on day 1. Its harder for me to find items of interest, so I am using some of the suggested bundles until I can get my head wrapped around how to find things. I love "news of the wierd" and the comics being right on my page for me. I do not like all the repetition on the news, and am wondering if I am missing some way of losing some of that.
I will keep playing with it until I figure it out.
RSS feeds are more of a mystery. I find google reader slows my computer down, I am usually working from 6 or 8 tabs at a time. This seems to use a lot of memory.
Anyone out there with more hints or tricks, I would love some here!

Thing 2.0 ( lol)

Library 2.0 looks like a natural progresson to me. The only constant is our world is change. Being prepared to evolve is a part of survial.

I really think that Libraries are a part of our culture in a way that will never allow them to go away. It is almost a religion for many of us to meet at the Library and socialize. To share ideas, books, and to look for new and interesting concepts.

Library 2.0 is going to drag some of us into the internet mix, one way or the other. Finding the time is tricky, but I agree that we always find the time for important and fun activities.

Step1/ Web 2.0

OK, here it is. I have looked all around and read a lot about web 2.0. I have added gadgets to my blogpage, gotten a gmail account and set up my igoogle page. Oh what fun!
What I gather about 2.0 is its really just all the applications out there in cyberspace that we can make use of. Which boggles my mind. All this "stuff" out there.. and the ways of accessing just what is needed at any given time!
Its way cool, and slightly beyond my comprehension. So, excuse me, while I go forth and expand my mind a bit more.

Step 1/ Braschone

Here we go with step one. I am in, I have my blog. Now I can move forward with the project. For now, this is for work. It is not my first blog.
Wishing you all well.
Gosh I hope I got my web address for this thing correct when I registered!
Till I see you in the stacks
