AuthorsOntheWeb

I decided to start with this site as my first 2.1
I went on the Kristin Hannah site since I put a hold on her new book "True colors"
Author yellow pages could be very helpful to anyone who likes to know more about their favorite authors.
The Reading group guides was very interesting to me I will definetely go back to that one.

Journey's End

I am so glad we were offered this opportunity to learn.
So many of these things can be helpful to our library staff for patron help and training help.
At first I didn't think I would be able to do alot of these exercises because some of them I had never heard of before. I have worked at the library a long time (before computers and air conditioning!!) but I was so pleased to see that through the very helpful sites and my very helpful co-workers I was able to keep up with the "things". I enjoyed the Library Thing ,we could put it to good use here. I liked zoho and wiki and exploring flikr too.
All and all I would do it again and I hope to go on and do some of the extra numbers.
To the doubters I say it is never to late to learn
Thanks

Net Library

I signed up for Net Library I looked around for awhile but unless you are doing research I didn't find it very user-friendly.
I did place a hold on a title from our e-books I look forward to seeing how it works when it is available.

Podcasts

I listened to an interview on NPR. The guest was Luciano Pavarotti and they spoke to him and played snippets of some of his works. I enjoyed it but it was kind of sad too.
I also (because of my blogname) listened to "3 wine guys" they did do some reviews of wine but they also did a lot of talking amongst themselves and some of it would not be appropriate for my blog.
I think we could incorporate podcasts in our training and on our web page. I think after this exercise is done we should look into some of the many options we have learned and use them to the library's benefit.
I couldn't do the feed to my bloglines I am going to see if I can get someone to help me with that.

Web 2.0 awards list

I could spend a bit of time on this one. "Judy's book" had maps you could click on your area and see all the sales at local stores etc. "Coverpop.com" was neat you had tiny images of dvd's in a huge mosaic that you could click on and read about the particular dvd. This feature would be creative on our web page for a few possibilities.
I still think Library Thing and Bloglines could be very useful to us as far as book reviews and interaction with patrons and staff for opinions and comments on books.

ZOHO writing

I like the way this is set up and I can see that we might be able to use this in our clerical work.
I am finding so many places to go back to and spend more time on through this whole 2.0 experience.
I was able to copy and paste this to my blog successfully.

Sandbox

I wrote about my favorite leisure activity. These new learning things are really interesting I feel like I am in another world.
