Technorati

I looked up Library 2.0 several different ways and wondered why.

I liked the favorite thing but it didn't really make sense to me.

I found something very surprising when I looked at different things: I found a link to a page about how a Japanese fashion designer is creating a faux vending vending machine costume for people to wear when they are out on the streets in a hinky neighborhood. It was a very entertaining article.

Del.icio.us

Ok, I might get it. It's taken me more than a little though to find the comments about bookmarks. I couldn't really see the tutorial because it was so blurry.

I like the idea of being able to find my favorite links but it is going to take me a while to get all my sites there.

I think it has the potential to be an awesome tool. I can't wait to really play with it.

I admit that I have always associated del.icio.us with nerds and computer geeks(sorry,ya'll). But it is more than that so I'll have to revise my opinion.

Library Elf

Okay, I signed up for library elf without even thinking about it. Now I am kind of worried. Buyer's remorse? I like the idea but I am not so sure about giving someone this kind of access into what I am reading and who can see any thing I have, owe, or what...

I should have thought this out a little better....Hmmmmm.

On another note, I have to admit that the technical difficulties that Library elf seems to be having is turning me off a bit. I wanted to see which libraries participated in the service, but the list wouldn't come up no matter how many times I tried it and then the main page wouldn't come up either. It brings to my mind the problems that companies can have with security. Now I'm even more worried about my information....

Library Thing

I like the idea of having my books catalogued and I wish I knew about this while I was in library school. I had my library catalogued in excel. Time consuming. I just wish I didn't have to keep typing in the author's name every time I want to one of her books. I read alot of the books by one author or another. But I have to admit that I am still learning how to add books and there is probably a way to do this that I haven't figured out yet. Can't wait to get home and hunt up my books and put them in my collection. If you want to see the ones I have added, my user name is bloggergirl.

Image Jennyators... I mean Generators...

I like playing with image generators. Anything that doesn't put MY picture up there is awesome in my book.

I particularly like creating avatars, I have a ton. It's a bit like virtual paper dolls, except that they move on their own. I have one on Second Life, though I have no money and never will so she is down on her luck. I have a wee me (www.weeworld.com); a yahoo avatar (see yahoo.com) and one from www.meez.com. Oh, and one from from millsberry.com (though this is a kids site. I had a lot of questions from younger kids who wanted help with this site, so I created my own to figure it out.)

Spoon RSS Feed me...

I like being able to pull up all kinds of things to "feed" on using Feedster and the like, but I think there is still something to say for moving through the web and finding your own sources. I wonder how it comes up with what it does and why it skips over other things.

I guess I am interested in so many things that I have a hard time finding exactly what appeals to me. Anyway, I am very happy that I can go to Bloglines to read the stuff and that it doesn't all go to my e-mail. (I wasn't sure how that worked and a little apprehensive about it because I forget to check my e-mail more often than not.)

Anyway, got to go read some of the feeds now....

RSS Fed

Okay, I have signed up for Bloglines. I picked out a couple of things that I am interested in and I hope they don't swamp my email. Oh, well, I guess I'll just try to keep up.
