Thing #23

Web 2.0 has been an interesting experience. I had the most fun with Flickr & image generators & had great fun using Picture2life. I will definitely be using Zoho Writer in the future & would have never discovered this tool if it weren't for Web 2.0. There were other 'things' that really didn't interest me - I found the RSS feeds & Rollyo were not very exciting.
It's definitely been interesting and I've learnt lots of new things that i probably wouldn't have bothered to look at, but I'm glad i did. I'm still not sure how this will work in a library, but we'll see how we go & what ideas we can come up with.

Thing #22

Oh my gosh, downloadable audio books are a great idea! I had fun looking around the different sites and seeing all the great books that can be downloaded. The best bit is that there are no overdue fines!!! Talking books are becoming very popular & I think being able to download them is a great idea. You never have to leave your home!!

Thing #21

Personally, the Podcasts didn't interest me that much. They were okay, but not something I would search for or use. I don't know if they would be useful in a library situation either. I'm sure there would be people out there in library land who could think up a use for them - unfortunately, that person is just not me.

Having looked through YouTube, I have chosen to add John Stamos being interviewed by Kerri-Ann whilst on his recent trip to Australia. This just cracks me up - he is so odd in this interview. I had heard about this interview, but wasn't home when it was on. I was very excited to see that it was on YouTube. Here it is -

After looking through the WEB 2.0 awards list, I chose to look at 'Picture2life'. I had a lot of fun looking through this site and edited a picture of my dog, Foxie. Here it is -

Zoho Writer is AWESOME!!! I have been recently thinking about purchasing Microsoft Office - but am now re-thinking that. I never realised something like this existed. I never thought I could go onto the internet to type up documents. And it even has an offline mode, so I don't even need to be connected to the internet to use it! I think Zoho Writer is great.

Thing #17

PBwiki was great. It's amazing to see all the different Blogs people have done.
