Delicious

I use delicious for my personal bookmarking system and love it! It's nice that I can access this from any computer. I can see a very practical use for social bookmarking especially working on group projects. Everyone would have access to the same information!

Social Networks

I went through this lesson, but it really didn't wow me. I didn't see a lot that couldn't be done on a blog, am I wrong? Plus, with a blog you don't have to be a member to read somebody's post like facebook. I suppose if I was younger, I probably would "get it".

Podcasting

I am once again trying to get a video onto my blog. I think I finally got it figured out!!

Office 2.0

I have to say that I am impressed with google docs. I can see a lot of uses for this type of program. It will be great just in the office when we work on projects together, that we are all just editing one copy instead of sending everything back and forth. I can see this will be great to add documents to my web page too. For example I made this google doc of our collection development policy:

http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcf3f5w5_1c2j8djwr&hl=en

Now I can embedd this in our web page and don't have to recreate the wheel!!

I also like it just for the travel factor, like Colleen said, that way if she forgets her jump drive she still has the documents she needs. Way Cool!!

Podcasting

Well, after spending some time watching videos and listening to stories I thought some possible uses for this would be How-to videos on our web page. This could help patrons to solve some of their FAQ without having to ask. Also I liked the idea of having a story on a podcast, although copyright infringements could be an issue. I found a video on Web 2.0 that I was going to add to this blog, but for the life of me I cannot get it to load. If I get it figured out I may include it at a later time.
