Week 6, Thing 15: What Web 2.0 means to BCPL

Lots of interesting concepts here; however, for a public library system the funds to allow all the "neat stuff" simply are not available. Our computers for public use are blocked from using many of these sites for security reasons. Hmmm: Google Page Creator; must check this out.

Week 6, Thing 14: Technorati

Looking at technorati and doing a search on learning 2.0 I found there are 21,441 blog posts about learning 2.0. I don't think I will have time to read them all. I did spend some time checking out the links off the main page, such as WTF: Where's the Fire? What's Hot, and Why. I don't have much use for the Favorites since I have My Favorites on my homepage. The popular link is interesting to see what is going on out there and what people are looking at. I did find several useful blogs here; such as http://blog-blond.blogspot.com/.

Week 6, Thing 13: Del.icio.us

I created a del.icio.us account. I like the fact that when you save a URL, Del.icio.us tells you immediately how many other account holders have saved that URL too. It even tells you who they are. This tool could be very useful for saving related websites and quickly finding information for school projects or research projects.

Week 5, Things 10, 11 and 12:

Played around with online image generator. It was like playing with paper dolls! See my Meez to the right. I had a heck of the time due to an extra character continuously copying when i went to paste the link.

Library Thing: View some of my books here:http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=jreedy
These are only the ones I remember so far. I'm sure I'll be adding more as I remember them - or not.

I will now attempt to roll my own rollyo.

Unrelated FYI: Lots of people in Alaska roll their own. Cigarettes, that is. It is much cheaper than buying a pack, which leads me to another FYI: never leave your cigarettes sitting around anywhere in Alaska. People will much more quickly roll a pack of already rolled right into their pocket rather than roll their own.
