Del.icio.us, Library Thing ,Technorati - Week 7

After a week's break I didn't think I could get back into it again but here I am. I set up my Del.ioio.us account and away I went on another journey. I could have searched for hours but unfortunatly the library customer required a little attention. I have linked a few tags to my blog. It could prove to be a good reference tool for links to relevent sites.
Library Thing, another account,username and password but what a lot of fun it turned out to be. Being a prolific reader(never without a book) my list could have gone on forever but once again the customers need attention. I will go back at a later date and add more to my list when time allows. I see having a list as anvantage of being able access it to recommend books to customers.
Technorati, I put in the recommended search term in both simple search and advanced search and ended up with the same results. I searched nswpln2008 as suggested with no results.It was all a bit boring and who is watching or tracking whom seems part of our everyday life today.

Videos Online - Week 6

What an experience it was finding and adding a video. So many choices I didn't know where to start. I did not realise what was available out there.

I can see videos online would be very useful in libraries for oral histories, self paced learning, book reviews and before and after of library refurbishments.

Wikis - Week 5

Wikis are a great way of sharing information as long as there is authensity in what is written.
I have used our own Wiki proceedure manual (BMCL) and it is as good as any wikis out there. I have also looked at Mint Museum, Book Lovers and Wookieepedia. They are all different and have individual benefits.
My favorite is Wikipedia and I use it quite often especially for movies, directors and actors. I love the way everthing is cross referenced you can go on for hours on the one subject.
My contribution to a Wiki is the updated procedure for Inter Library Loans in BMCL procedure manual.

RSS Feeds - Week 4

Here I am at week 4 RRS feeds. Who would have thought I would get this far. I have added Sydney Weather, Latest Yahoo7 news, Flick Direct Film Industry News and the ABC Shop: ABC DVD New Releases to my blog. On some sites the feeds where hard to find but once I got the hang of where to look it became compulsive. I quite enjoyed this exercise and would have added feeds if time allowed.
Now on to Wikis

Sharing images - Week 3

I felt a little overwhelmed by the thought of setting up a blog. When we were sent a link to the lazy blogger I thought that's for me and gave me incentive to start. I am sure I will experience many many frustrations along the way.
I do not have access to the internet at home as it would cut into my reading, movie watching, gardening and sewing time. I will have to fit my blogging challengers into my busy working day. luckley I have a technological wizz as a co worker to lend me a hand when things get tough.
All my images are from Flickr and I now seem to have a theme going.
Well now it is on to the next challenge RRS feeds.
