You Tube

Well I had a look at You tube and found a video clip that used to be one of my favourites, it was the song Star Trekking Across the Universe. It is a fun song with lots of cute characters. An old favourite of mine.
This is the link for Star Trekking

Web 2.0 awards

I have had a browse of the Web 2 Awards websites, I went into the category of fun stuff to see what was there and low and behold! I found the number one category was Cocktails. Just in time for the weekend, look at this web site for some tempting inspiration, http://www.cocktailbuilder.com/ White Russian sounds nice or what about a bit of Fuzzy navel? Yum

Google Docs

I had a go on Zoho writer but I wasn't very keen on that one, it seemed to take forever to load and then I couldn't get in to it to write on the blank document page. However, google docs is much better and so I opened a document wrote some instructions for our staff fax machine and then saved it.

Week 8

Discovering Web 2 learning.
This is a site I will investigate some more. My favourite sites are food sites http://ifoods.tv/web/

Week 7

Social networking. This is one I found a bit easier than the others, social networking sites are more familiar to me than blogs. I have my own Bebo page which I have added to over the last two years, although not so much recently as my home computer has become too old to handle it. I found one advantage is when you or a family member are travelling overseas they can add photos or put highlights of their trip so friends and family can read what has been happening.
I have started a Face book account which I am dying to get started on but when they emailed the confirmation back to my ymail account and I clicked on it to confirm it, it was blocked by Manukau Gateway, that was frustrating!

week 6 Web 2

I read the article about Moving away from Icebergs and found it quite interesting. The idea of having a "just in case" collection in case the borrowers might want to use it seems as though it is becoming outdated now with all the digital information available.
Circulation statistics are showing that customers are using the computers more for an information source rather than reading books for information. Rick Anderson says we need to shift direction to keep afloat. http://www.oclc.org/nextspace/002/2.htm

Delicious

Well, that was interesting, I looked at some of the social bookmark sites and I have created a delicious account. I viewed the demo video on technorati which was interesting. I now know what they mean by tagging and how you can save a favourite blog.
The site I like best is librarything.
