#23 "In Summary" 09/02/2007

My journey thru Library 2.0 has been an interesting and at times frustrating one. While going thru some of the 23 things, I kept thinking "I'll never use this again." Or "this doesn't even interest me." HOWEVER, in sending greeting cards this a.m. in 123greetings.com, I discovered a link to add it to my del.ic.ious account and also to my RSS feeds! While adding it to my RSS feeds, I discovered a podcast in the TV SERIES FINALE/CANCELLED SHOWS feed on Gilligan's Island! Really enjoyed it. It was a long 26 minute podcast, but while listening to it, I started to compose this for #23! I am seeing links to add to RSS, del.ic.ious or other sites on things now that I would never have noticed before!!!! So, maybe I will use some of the 23 items again after all!

I also really enjoyed #10 the image generators. I spent hours playing in that one. I also really enjoyed #19 the Web awards list. My two favorites so far in this one are Picasa and Google Maps.

Zoho will also be revisited. You can go to word or spreadsheet via the internet/zoho and start your project, and then go to ANY other computer with Internet access and continue working on it! This way, you wouldn't have to worry about not having the same version of word or excel when going from computer to computer. Would benefit some of our patrons that run into problems because of different versions of programs.

Some sites would be great if you are doing a lots of research on a subject because you could link all the sites in the same place. Also might come in handy for librarians that want to keep a list of reference points for popular topics. SJCPL subject guides in Wikiland or del.ic.ious would both be good for that.

All in all, it was a very interesting adventure going thru the 23 things.
