Week Seven

I explored the HCPL wiki. I dislike the fact that anyone can enter lame information into a wiki and others accept it. I added my blog, one of my top ten albums and a favorite restaurant to the HCPL wiki site.

I searched through Technorati and claimed my blog.

With tech advances and so many wireless choices I see a need for stronger safety measures to thwart cyber thieves. I am amazed that I can walk out to mailbox with my laptop and pick up my neighbors routers, all without passwords.

Week Six

Del.icio.us can be a useful tool for those, like library patrons, that use multiple computers. The HCPL site will be a great resource tool.

The basic concept of tagging is awesome, but sites are clogged with hundreds of random tags and wading through all of them can be challenging. I definitely need work on my filtering technique. I have to admit I did not grok all of it.
I was amazed when I checked IMDB and the plot summary tags seemed so obvious for a movie about a psychopathic killer.

Library 2.0 will allow us to meet the changing needs that new technology brings.

Play Week

I signed up for library elf to receive emails and I added a list of my all time favorite books to the Library Thing. I found each site to be easy to navigate.
I know they will prove to be useful to me.

RSS Feeds

I discovered that I was already using many of the RSS feed choices on my customized google homepage.

Flickr

I found flickr fairly simple to use. The tools were fun to try.
