Social Bookmarking

Just finished Social Bookmarking/Delicious - the amount of information available here was overwhelming. I would definitely use this at home - not at work. I can see how this tool would be invaluable to a person doing research. I will keep this site in mind the next time I feel I need to "research" something. Not sure I would be able navigate through all the options that are available on this site. I would need much more practice.

Twitter

Created Twitter account - I did not like this site - I don't think I will ever use it. Most of my correspondence is via e-mail. Do not use at work.

Virtual Library

Rapid Research - I found this site very easy to use and was amazed at how easy it was to access information. I particularly enjoyed the Heritage Quest site. I am glad I visited it and would use it again. Although I don't usually use this site, it was interesting to see how much information was here - marriages, siblings, etc.

I also visited the DVD/Books site - I could stay on this site forever!!! I already use this to look up books/movies I want - to see what library has an audio version of the books I want. I also have ordered DVDs from here. I use this site all the time!! I love it and would be lost without it!!!

Podcasts, IM and Downloadable Audio Books

I visited Podcast Alley - I did not care for this site. It did not hold any interest for me. I would not use this at home or at work.

IM - I did not finish working on this - could not remember any e-mail addresses for my contacts. May do a little later.

Downloadable Audio - I loved this site! I only wish they would have more current books available (instead of "domain" only). I am listening to a story as I write this! I think this would be a great asset to the library. Since people are more "on the go" than ever - they can drive, do housework, etc. while listening to their favorite books! I would definitely use this! I always use the audio version of books so that I can multi-task!

Wikis

Wow! Up until today whenever I wanted to find out about a subject I used the Google search engine - I had heard about "Wikipedia" but never used it. I could spend hours on this site. I enjoyed reading all the info. and was overwhelmed at the information on there. I would definitely use this again.

Social Networking

Just finished "Social Networking" I can understand the usefulness of this, but I'm not sure I would use this for myself. I found it extremely easy to use. I have used it in the past (on other people's account), but I don't think I would use it on a regular basis. I do not use the computer at work.

Flicker

Had trouble posting pictures to blog. However I did successfully post to Denise's blog. Don't understand how this happened. . . perhaps I will try at home with my own pictures and see how it turns out. I would not use this at work and I can definitely use this at home, since I am terrible about getting photos to people in a timely manner!
