I think this was a good way to be exposed to the many things that Web 2.0 has to offer. Some of them I thoroughly enjoyed while others were just an annoying experience :-o. But such is life.

Thank you sincerely for all the hard work you put into this to keep us updated and informed. It was truly beneficial.

Oh if I only had more time.......

These were pretty comprehensive and I like what they offered. On Best Practices I stumbled upon a booktalk video, which I found worthwhile.

After speaking with other librarians, this would work for many things including programming (what is, what works, improvements, etc.) and bibliographies/reviews for patrons.

I tried Technorati and didn't find it user friendly so I went back to Google Reader, which I found much easier.

Helpful leads especially for patrons. However, I like the leads to new books and videos. An error message comes up for the NY Times Book Reviews, which I would subscribe to.
RSS allows a patron to get some more information as well as information found on the main page via a different route.

While I was looking for a lease I subscribed to:

This was a fun experience in that it allowed me to view a book I otherwise might have discarded because I didn't have time to get to it physically. I downloaded:
The Element
How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything
by Ken Robinson, Ph.D.
Checked out on:

Summaries are helpful, but actually getting into the book allowed me to get a real feel for it. This is really nice.

It's a great way to manage photos for someone who can't even manage a photo albumn. :-)

I always enjoy YouTube. It's like google, you just type in a word a a whole new world opens up. I checked out their collaboration videos and found it amusingly interactive. Just think what we can do at meetings. :-)
So many of the videos can be used in programs, especially involving teens. Its a way to get information across in a cool way.

Enjoy.

Library Thing has a lot to offer. I like that I now have a personal library as well as a personal reader's advisory. I will probably use it to keep a running record of what I'm reading.

I tend to like the subject headings more than the clouds. The cloud gave me too much information to search through. However, I like it because if I were searching for something unique, I might have more luck with the cloud.

I enjoyed using Delicious and intend to go back and explore it more. I'll probably use it for future projects. Thanks.

Both Facebook and MySpace offer so much information, so it becomes a matter of preference as to which one I'd use more for social networking, which probably would be Facebook. Facebook as of now has 135 fans. I tried to "view all" but had some difficulty. I liked the fact that there was a lot of help for students listed on both sites. I found Facebook a little easier to navigate with less wasted words and space.

So I finally got through this twitter thing. I wrote how I'm plodding through Web 2.0., more like having my feet stuck in mud :-)
