Week 8 Thing 19

I went to the Web 2.0 awards list. I explored Lulu a website where you can publish your own book, a picture, music, videos or practically anything you have created. You publish your work & they market it for you on their website. They in turn collect a small fee only if anyone buys your product. They will even market it with Amazon & Barnes & Noble. Seems like a great way for a budding author to get started. I'm not sure if there is any way for Libraries to use Lulu, but maybe.

I also explored Craigs list, which is a classifed website. You put in the city you are interested in & you can look for a job, houses for sale, apartments for rent, anything for sale. This would be a good tool if you were relocating to another city.

I'm just trying out Zoho writer for our lesson in 23 Things.

Week 8 Thing 18

23 Things


I'm just trying out Zoho writer for our lesson in 23 Things.

I made this document in Zoho Writer. It was just as easy as microsoft word, and even suprising to me I somehow posted it to my blog. I guess I am learning something!! I think this is great, no software needed, you can access your documents, spreadsheets, etc. from anywhere, and selected people can make changes and updates.

P.S. Guess I don't know as much as I thought, somehow I got my document on twice!! Oh well, better than not at all.

Week 7 Thing 16 &17

This was the easiest week for me yet!!

I like the concept of wikis, and think they could be very useful to alot of organizations. Maybe a library would have to restrict editing to certain people or certain areas of their wiki. Wikis seem very user friendly, obviously if I understand it anyone can!!!

I added my blog to the Sandbox Wiki. Here again very user friendly, I had no trouble.
I also added an entry about my favorite vacation spot.

Week 6 Things 13,14,&15

I looked around Del.icio.us, It seems like another way to bookmark or do favorites, except you have access to alot of other peoples favorites and they can access yours. Maybe I don't get the whole concept.

Technorati was overwhelming to me. I did find someone's 23 Things Blog when I searched"Learning 2.o". There seemed to be alot of different things under one tag name.

Library 2.0 will probably continue to evolve & could be quite useful.

Week 5 Thing 11

Thanks Amanda W for helping me to get this to show up.

Week 5 thing 12

I created an account in Rollyo, but don't think I will ever use it.

Week 5 thing 11

LibraryThing does seem like it could be useful to keep track of what you have read & what you like. I think this is my link. If not I'll try again.
