Thing 14

Linrary Thing good. Wish I had this amny years ago to keep track of all the books I've read. Maybe I'll try to add a few titles every day. It would be interesting to see how many I could remember.
This would be very helpful in the library- when you're doing reader's advisory stuff you could keep lists and share with customers. Pretty cool. Sure beats actually talking to people.
I even managed to add the widget with zero frustration.

Thing 13

This was an interesting subject. My Yahoo is my home email and I've never really explored any of it's other features. I like the calendar and will probably use it from now on. Am not sure who I would share it with but it's nice to know that I could if I wanted to.
I thought that the PDF Converter and Zamzar would be very useful in my library environment. I can't try the PDF converter now because the files I want to try converting on on my library shared drive, but I'll give it a shot when I get to work.
Also really liked the Lifehacker. I've put that on my favorites list to check for new information. Very useful. Musch better than the "popular" news of the social media sites in the last thing.

Thing 12

Hummm, I'm not liking these. I don't think that I want to rely on all the Internetites out there to decide what is "popular" news. Digg: You won’t find editors at [Digg]… provide[s] a place where people can collectively determine the value of content and we’re changing the way people consume information online.”
One could just as well say about libraries, "You won't find librarians at the library.. but people can collectively determine the value of books and content and can change the way people consume information." Wow, we'd have buildings full of Danielle Steele and James Patterson.
Although I don't always trust the news, I figure that editors, journalists, etc. are the experts. And what about this from Digg: If your submission rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of our visitors to see. So this is some weird competition to see who can find the most obscure news feature?

How is this useless drivel supposed to help me at the reference desk? I must be missing something here.

Thing 11

Well, I managed to do the tagging in my blog. And I went to delicious and did the work in THing 11. I guess if you spend most of your time on the Internet (instead of having a real life, I guess) this would be useful.
I do see the potential for a library using this. We have Quicklinks for often used or useful websites and tagging these to help with reference would be beneficial.

Thing 10

I found the wikis very interesting especially the Albany Public Library Staff wiki. This would be so great to have for us instead of our Insider page. We have one-two people only posting things. With our county restrictions I don't know if they would allow "just any staff" to post information to a wiki. It would be so much more helpful. Will try to nag someone about doing this.

I wasn't so enamored of the Minniwiki. Perhaps it's still just in the development stage, but there wasn't a lot of information to be had.

I did go into the 23 Things WIKI and although I did not actually alter or add anything I did investigate it enough to get a good idea of how to use it. it seems really easy.

Thing 9

I'm still cranky about THing 8. I worked really hard on a slideshow but try as I might I couldn't figure out how or what to do so that other people could access it. Sometimes I get so frustrated with this that I want to quit.
Thing 9 was OK. It's nice to know about the online word processer. I played around with the Declaration of Independence but it seemed almost sacriligeous.

BTW - to those of you who remarked about why I placed my avatar in hell, I hope you noticed that I'm now back on earth and ready to climb the pyramids.

Thing 8.2

OK - I forgot to make this public.

or, maybe this! http://show.zoho.com/public/kkcecilia/Not%20a%20Peep%20out%20of%20you!

Thing 8.1

OK - try this instead - it's a better view..

I really like Zoho.

Thing 8

I'm really not stupid but I couldn't figure out how to add slides in Thumbstacks. I could copy a slide but there's got to be a better way. Also, it was not obvious to me how yo'd add pictures. 2 thumbs down on this one.
Here's what I did in Zoho http://show.zoho.com/editor.do?P_ID=162782000000004013

I don't know if this is right. Try it!

Thing 7

Thing 7 not as interesting as Thing 6.
Email - been there done that. Have used folders, groups, etc.
IM- our library has been working on getting this for almost 2 years. We keeping hearing "we'll have it next week". Looking forward to using this sometime in my life. Didn;t think the video was all that helpfl.
Text Messaging - have no idea how to do this and wouldn't use it if I could. It's bad enough trying to hit the right keys on a normal size keyboard, but a cell phone? No.. I do get text messages though from my nephew and can access and read these.
Webinars - Have particpated in many of SirsiDynx webinars. They were great.
I didn't know that MINITEX had online conferences. Cool. FOund the podcasting one interesting.
I tried to Twitter but their website wasn't working good.

Thing 6

I forgot to title my last post as Thing 6. It was. Really.

This one was fun. It was easy and quick to do. I'll have to figure how to incorporate something like this in the teen summer reading program.

The title is supposed to say "Look what we found in the bookdrop".

Thing 5

Finally - something that works for me. Here is Warhol Scoobie from FLICKR apps - fd's Flickr Toys

Isn't he beautiful!

Here it is Deadwood. Go Mo Reen comes through!! Pure genius. BUT I had to download the image and then upload it; couldn't do the URL thing - kept getting the box with the red X. It bugs me that I can't do this successfully as instructed in Thing 4. Thanks to By JFISHAUF for the unauthorized use of his/her picture.

Yeah, that worked really good. Thanks for your help Go Mo Reen!!
Do you like my picture of Deadwood??

Thing 4

This blows. I tried to upload several pictures from Flickr but all I get is this stupid box. What's the deal? I wanted to upload an image I found search the term Deadwood. I've been watching Deadwood and am pretty absorbed by it. In any case, I think I'll go watch another episode as that is more satisfying than trying to figure this stupid thing out.
