2.0

When talking about Web or Library 2.0, a lot of people use the words as nouns: as if it were something solid you could point to. I think its more of a concept, rather than software or hardware. And yet as I read the Wikipedia entry I got bogged down in all the words I don't know. Every other word was blue and I'm clicking to find definitions of types of platforms and "perpetual beta" and "rich media". Boy is there a lot I don't know.
I did enjoy the articles I read about it though. The Library of the Future, I want to be there.

Oh boy is this exercise for me! I especially love what HFAR is doing with the Readers sites. I could get lost in there for days. I will play around more with this one for sure to see if I want to make my own account.
Oh by the way, I almost went blind trying to view the Otter Group tutorial. Tell me there is a way to increase the size of the picture and I might view it again. Or not.

A Dozen is Halfway to the finish!

O.K. I have a twitter account. Ask me why it took so long to figure out how to follow the Learn & Play account, but only when I'm in the mood for a good laugh. I am not enamored of this exercise. I know I am supposed to post my twitter user name but at this point it would be a disservice to the reader. I didn't put much effort in it. I need some time at home to really play around and see if I will change my mind.

Up to Heaven

I believe I mentioned the Library Thing earlier. I already DO have an account. How easy is this one going to be! I have not linked it to my blog because I have a shelfari account linked here. I don't probably need them both but I'm still trying everything out. Love those books!

Image generators=addicting. At least once you sort through the stuff you can't figure out how to do! I personally loved the little sticky notes on the Generator log. I will add the link if I remember how to. Wish me luck.

I just knew there was too much stuff out there. Ever wonder how the world even functions? I have been so insulated in spite of newspapers, TV and Radio. Needless to say on this exercise I aproached information overload. Syndica8.com took forever to load, Topix.net was pretty cool after I got into the tabs and Technorati was no fun. End of discussion.

This has truly been the worst one to do. Not only is my time being crunched into little pieces, I couldn't figure out how to add feeds. Then we've been having computer problems and presto, I'm a week behind. I don't know how I am going to keep up if the assignments don't get easier as promised. Oh well, still hanging in there with 10 feeds in my account.
