#14 Technorati

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dSx9Ybc-IDY

Well I have been into Technorati and found the above on the popular blog, very moving...

There seems to be so many ways to access other blogs, sites and setting up a site to look for the sites you want. It seems so huge - is there anything you can't do????

#13 Tagging

Ahh, that's better, I feel my enthusiam is back again for this e learning after having a go at del.icio.us!! I have signed up to del.icio.us and added some sites. I will be adding more and I can see how useful and time saving this will be....GREAT!
I can also see how this would be very useful on the front counter of the library on searching popular subjects for the borrowers.

#12 Rollyo

I have opened a Rollyo account, but I have hit a bit of a "slow down" patch with this e learning, as I don't find it particularly user friendly! I haven't given up and I am in the process of asking colleagues to gain a better understanding.....

#8 RSS and Newsfeeds

I have set up a blogline account and chosen some interesting sites. I can see that this will save a lot of time, rather than searching each site individually. I am all for time saving!
I think this system could be useful within the library. The library website could include a popular topic, perhaps requested by the borrowers and any relevant sites could be added. All borrowers could then access this information rather than possibly over a period of time, the same topic being requested and searched for, time and time again.

#7 Blogging about technology

What would my life be without my mobile phone! Contacting my family here in Australia and on the other side of the world in an instant and sending pictures is great. I often wonder how people who made the same move to Australia years ago coped! They would have taken months to get here by sea and the only way to communicate with their family was via the good old written letter, a reply taking months! Advances in technology through email and the relatively "old fashioned" telephone are also dependable ways in which you can keep in touch whilst moving around the world.
