Technorati - Week 7 exercise

Hello! today I signed up for Technorati and I successfully claimed my blog. I found Technorati easy to browse and also entertaining it had blogs tagged in wide subjects such as sports, technology. I spent quite a lot of time. I found that Technorati keeps track of all the blogs in the world. It is marvellous.

Social bookmarking - del.icio.us

Hello! today I set up my own delicious account. I had to restart firefox browser and clink on a link sent to me by email. I found del.icio.us interesting and useful. I had a look at the Sutherland shire tags clouds and Cleveland public library tags, I saw that these libraries are tagging by subject and can also have unbundled tags. I have not yet worked out how to put a delicious link to my blog but I will return to this exercise when I get some help. I found at times it takes a long time to sign in to delicious.

Embedding a youtube video for week 6

Hello! I am so happy I was able to embed a youtube video into my blog. At first I was a bit hesitant but I managed to work it out by reading the instructions several times and it worked. I also signed up to youtube and I will be uploading my favorite videos for all the world to see. I alsso had a look at goole video and it is great too!

today I leaned about wikis.It was a surprise to me to learn how simple it is to contributeto or to edit an article which appears in the wikipedia. You don't need to sign up or to sign in, and you can be anonymous if you wish. I am a bit worried about the reliability of information going into the wikipedia, for example about a specific medical condition. I think wikis can be used for libraries such as - book reviews, event planning, distribution of minutes. I checked out many wikis. It is fascinating.

RSS Feeds

Hello! today I created a Bloglines account. I think RSS is a lot of fun. It helps me to sort out information that you really need.. I think it could be used for marketing purposes in libraries. I found it nice to access the latest news form the ABC. I selscted 6 feeds - ABS blog for librarians, BBC news, Bloglines, Library bytes and Powerhouse museum photo of the day.

Hello! I have been very busy today. I accomplished what I set out to do. I created a flickr account today and uploaded three photographs. Tomorrow I will take photos of my colleagues at work and upload the phtos to flickr. I think it's a lot of fun. I will tell my friend and some relatives about flickr. I also explored flickr and found there are thousands of photos on different topics. It is so interesting looking at all these photos. I will have to sign out now because it is almost 1 am and tomorrow I have to go to work early. Goodbye.
