Week 6 # 13

Learning 2.0 was knowledgeable to me. I knew a little about the many changes that were begining to happen to Library Systems all over the country. But 2.0 really paints a picture. It also lets you get a feel for other. I went to the orginal Learning 2.0
and I really enjoyed it. I think it is a soild based bolg site. I will visit it again. As I read it is a great tool.

Week 7 # 16 "WIKI"

After being able to get the wiki, I thought it was cool to see what other people was writing. Also I like the that in order to leave your post it was like leaving a simple email. The creators of the site must have been very smart people.

In reference to have this website/service to come in handy in a library setting; using this site can be a great way to see what the partons are doing and how they are feeling about what is going in with the library system. Also this site comes in handy when the branch has some useful or interesting idea to rely to its patrons.

I really do not like to read, but to read and be able to apply as well is a good way to express yourself and offer a example as well.

Week 7 #17


I would like to talk about the new cell phone that are on the market or coming on the market. I like to upgrade my cell phone about every 2 yrs. due to the new features that the phone has. The think (ever through I can not afford one) the Iphone is by far the best on the market. It has all the feature of a radio, tv, cell, the net, and a PDA rapped into one.


Technology has come a long way with the cell. I had one of the orginal huge cell phone with the chappy service, and the sky high bill "remember Houston Celluar" .

Week 6 #14



Today I played around on this boring website. The site named "Technorati" allows you search for all kinds of blogs. It was not fun to play on this website. It look to me like a hugh search engine.

There is one neat thing about this website, it is the amount of different ways that you could search for item. There are about 7 to 10 different ways to search; which can lead to hundereds of different combination. I have siad it before and I will say it again, bloggin is slowly becoming the way of effective communications. I offer a non-personal way to get the word out or to sate your opinion/the way you feel about certain things. Through taking it own sweet time bloggin is take over where as text messaging was a few years ago.

After I used this site, I discovered that when you search for a blog that it depends on which option to use, what results that will be given, for example when I searched for the learning 2.0 in the tag area I got results such as webcast, live feeds, etc but then I did a general search I got just got different blogs

Today

JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW WHATIMTHINKIN:

Today when I was driving into to work I learned of some distruping stories going on this country of ours. First, what is the world coming to; a mother buys her home-schooled son weapons so he can hurt others. I could not believe it when I heard it. Read more of this story at: "Sick Kid".
Second, the young man from Jena, LA is back in jail. My question is WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY LET THE US KNOW THAT HE WAS ON PROBATION; see the update for this story at "Jena 6". Lastly, there has been a major recall AGAIN. Banquet is in major hot water, read more at "Banquet Mess".

The US is going crazy. I hope that all is well in whoever reads this. Please remember be aware and love yourselves, and things will get hopefully get better.

Week 5 #11





Library Thing was great. I had a wonderful time added books to my account. As I explored the website I learned that they too had a blog link. I went to the blog and and created a poster of all my farvorite books, but to my supurise when I make the poster board it also made a additional board that listed some other members who has my books in their list as well; so that left me thinking I could link to some of these folks as a networking source. I had a great learning experince.

Week 4 #9

I have just searched on Bloglines.com. I had fun discovering how many different blogs that are out there. I was very pleased to have already knew of one such blog that I found while search on bloglines.com, it was the wrestling blog. I have often linked from it from the WWE website. I even added it to my personal home page.

I looked on the Internet to see the history of blog and learned that it is fairly new. Blogging is taking the place of original emailing, just as texting has just about taken the place of actually cell phone calling. I think that it is catching on like wild fire and shows no signs of going anywhere, so for those of you would do not like to or no familiar with the complete blogging process, please learn; it is the future.

Week 3: #7

Here is the great picture of and countryside in Ireland. I look this picutre due to the peacefulness of it. I had fun working on Picnik. It was very easy to upload from Flickr and add things to the photo. Everyone should try this.

Week 4 part #8


I just finished the Bloglines part 1 assignment and I have to be truthful, it is the most boringest thing I have worked on for a long time. To me it is not a jacked up search engine. I think that there is not that must difference between this and google.



Now I will say this one good thing about the blogline feature. It allows you to register for the things that interest you. I like that idea.



Well learning new things are not always going to be fun, take it from me I am in 2 very boring classes at school: Psych soligical Psychology and Motivational Psychology.
