Twitter-2.0

It seems that most of the library acoounts are listing programs that we are offering. I couldn't get into some of the account because a message came up stating that the page doesn't exist. I think Twitter would only be effective if customers knew that we posted on there-so wouldn't that involve some sort of advertising of this fact and then how to access each of the different accounts for the library.
I did like the fact that Twitter states in "About Us" that they support literacy.

LibraryThing -2.0


I have been using LibraryThing for a couple of years. I originally signed up to keep track of books I was going to be booktalking for an event at the library. I kept up with it because I love to put in my favorite authors and get back recommended reads for other authors. It is also a wonderful way to keep track of what you have read you may want to reread a book in the future and even keep track of what you didn't like to read.

Yahoo Calendar-2.0

I used Yahoo calendar because my e-mail account at home is with them. I thought it was very easy to use and can see myself using it for my at home appointments. I already use Outlook at work. I also think Google documents is good, I think the library might be going to use this for technology courses soon rather than Microsoft.

Flikr & YouTube-2.0

I like YouTube a lot, except you go on just to look at a couple of things and suddenly it is 2 hours later-just keep finding more and more neat videos to watch. Some of the videos aren't the best quality and others I don't know why they are even posted but all in all I thought many of the videos I watched were good.
I didn't like Flickr as much-I searched for photos on various subjects and kept getting other very strange photos in the mixture which I thought had nothing to do with what I asked for.
I don't think I would ever use Flickr to manage my pictures and I would never post to YouTube either. I don't think the whole world needs to see what everybody else is doing.
