Web docs

Ok, I have added my name a poked around a bit.
The idea that a group of people can all work on a document at the
"same time" and not have to be in the same building would be very
useful. As a page, I don't have any need of this in my job, but it would
come in handy in my life with my sisters and our shore house and doing
a spread sheet on the renters or the work we have done through the
years.

Sandbox

Ok, Sandbox was fun. It is just like playing with a big word document with a lot of other people.
I didn't put in anything about my favorite foods, books or sports but instead my favorite object in my life at this moment, since I just got it on Tuesday the 13th!

Library Wiki

This was fun to browse around and I learned a few things about our system's history.
I did click on the tabs but wasn't able to figure out what was what really as far as the "changes" go in the history. I did see where Sparks was changed but as guessing on who changed the information, I haven't the faintest idea.
I do love seeing what "Wikipedia" has to say about things.
On a side note-
My high school is also listed in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conestoga_High_School

Library success

I did find a link on this wiki to be very interesting to me.

It was this one:http://libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Organizing_Library_Collections

I run across books every so often that I am a bit perplexed on why it got thrown in that section. I do from time to time question them and sometimes I am right and sometimes I am explained why it is where it is. So for me this was interesting.

Library 2.0

I read 2 of the perspectives. I like how Dr. Wendy Schultz basically states that even with all this new technology around us, a library is a building where people come together.
While putting books away, I see all sorts of people come in just to read a paper, meet with someone or just do a puzzle with their child. Yes, we should be aware of the new technologies and use them as we can, but not to lose sight that people come to the building for all sorts of reasons and a lot of times it may not have anything to do with how technologically advance our branch is.

Technorati

Well again this is a site that really needs to have a long look at, but for quick view this is what I found.....

I found this on a site called the Thinking stick.com and in turn it was found on someone else's site. I thought it was creative enough to post on my blog, since it shows just how connected people/blogs/podcasts/flickr/internet ect. are ALL really connected by peoples input.

As I went further, I ran across this other blog http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/ . He certainly has a way of "opening" your eyes to what Web 2.0 or all of this new techno learning. Take a look.

Del.icio.us

Well, this is certainly a site that needs lots of time to explore. I bounced around a bit on it and then decided to put in "Genealogy" and see what it would come up with that Google hadn't. Well, to my surprise it did show me a few other useful sites that I hadn't run across with Google. http://www.findmypast.com/home.jsp
I will have to explore it more when I have more time. It is very creatively set up and the format is something to get use to.
