You Tube

I placed the music clip of Pink "Dear Mr President" a while ago. This is a very controversial song but I seem to be listening to this cd in my car at the moment, I must be having a mid-life crisis or something!!!! It is funny how we seem to have "favourites" at a certain time and then never listen to them again.

WEB 2.0 Awards

I have been looking at the comments about the Winners of the Web 2.0 Awards. I found this very interesting especially reading some of the comments, the information that it written in here is very informative. Obviously it is up to the individual and their opinions, which means that not all the comments are favourable but at least it gives up information (whether good or bad) before you experience it for yourself.

ZOHO Writer

Well its been a while since I have written anything in my blog, I wonder if it is because I am busy or !!!!!!!.

I created my signin for ZOHO last week but am now finally going to write about it. This is a very interesting concept. I can see that it would be very advantagous to the "business user" or "cyber user", basically someone who travels alot and has access to the internet, so that they can input and retrieve data at the click of a button.

Learning 2.0 Sandbox Wiki

I have been having a play with Learning 2.0 Sandbox Wiki and found it a little confusing at first. I have finally got to the editing screen where I need to add my blog name to the bottom but are unable as this page is currently locked by another user, so I will have to try and a little later on.

Well I finally managed to get in and add my blogger name under Brimbank Libraries. I found it a bit of a misson but once I did it, it was pretty straight forward, I think the instructions about putting the brackets around the url caused the main problem because I used the insert url option.

Wiki's

I think I am on a bit of a roll again trying to get thru all of this wonderful information that we are learning.

The next task is Wiki's, from playing around and reading the other comments made about this feature, there are alot of benefits to it but there are also some disadvantages. The one main disadvantage is that they are able to be editted, that is good if the correct information is being put in but not so good if the wrong information is being added or entered as this give people incorrect resources.

Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

I have been reading the information on Library 2.0 and Web 2.0 by the five Librarians. I found it interesting that there were photo's of each of these of these people and that four out of the five were male and only one female. I also found that age range interesting.

All of them were very positive about this new way that the libraries are going and that it is an everchanging environment and that we need to keep with the play or be left behind.

I like the term "Row your library boat into the Web 2.0 environment" by Rick Anderson, as he says we are all rowing pretty heroically but "icebergs" get in our way and threaten our progress. We all have to keep up and not get sunk by these "Icebergs"!!!!!!

More and More on Technorati

Well it is Friday afternoon and I have managed to get the icon on my blog for technorati thanks to a bit of help from Crissy. (Thank you). I can finish the week knowing that I have completed this weeks tasks and are ready to move on to the next challenge that awaits us!!!!

I have just been bitterly disappointed and realised that I have not finished I still have to do the task on Library 2.0 and Web 2.0. I don't have time now but I will try and do it soon.
