Thing 20 - YouTube

I had a fun time cruising around YouTube. The animal lover I am; I searched for animal videos and found found some really cute ones. My favorite was the lion hugging the lady that rescued it, but I choose a different link to put on my blog.



The following link will take you to a free monitor cleaner. Give it a try. It's my gift to all the wonderful people running oclwebthings.

Thing 10 - Technology

I have thinking about what to say about technology, and I decided to talk about cell phones. Three years ago I didn't think I needed one. I have only had a cell for just over 2 years. Everyone had a cell phone before me (my kids and even my parent's!) Now that I have one I can't live without it. I use it as an alarm clock, daily planner, and for reminders.

One day last week I had an appointment and was going to meet a friend afterwards, but I left my phone at home. I was lost with out it. I don't know anyone's phone # because they are programed in my phone.

Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is that even though I am reluctant to admit it, I am very dependent on technology.

Thing - 19 Web 2.0 Awards

I spent some time at eventfull and think I will go back there, because I am always looking for something different to do. Looks like I will find some good ideas from that site.

Thing 18 - Google Docs

I used Google Docs this past week to make fliers. It was great! I like using Google Doc. I think our branch's Safety Committee could benefit from using Google Docs.

Things 16 & 17 - Wiki not so icky

I think wikis are a great way to keep everyone on the same page. Especially if they work at different locations or have varied schedules. I was first introduced to wikis last year as a member of the virtual branch committee. I thought it worked great and is a tool that could be used by more committees.

The like the idea of the Library Success wiki, but I think one might have to spend time sifting through irrelevant info to find something of use.

Thing 11 - LibraryThing

I like LibraryThing. Some of my books were popular. It was interesting to read what other people thought about my favorites.

Thing 14 - Technorati

I wasn't too inpressed with technorati. I did't see anything that I would want to go back to. I'll do a few more searches and see if anything strikes me.
