CPL 2.0 complete!

I'm done! Now what will I do?

CPL 2.0 Twitter

Question: What kind of information is being posted by the library accounts above? What kind of information should libraries post?

answer: Our programs. Needs to be updated to be effective though. When is Crowfoot getting theirs?

CPL 2.0 Librarything

Question: Do you see any practical applications for LibraryThing either at home or at work? Will you start using this site?

Answer: I think this might have some use at work, but not for me personally. I will play around on it more when at info to see if it might help customers.

CPL 2.0 online productivity

Question: Do you see yourself using these tools or will you stick to more traditional methods. If you were to use one of these tools regularly, which would it be and why?

I have meant to try google calendar for a while. I can't believe how easy it was! I just might organize all my calendars with this.

CPL 2.0 Flickr & Youtube

I had never looked at flickr before. I didn't realize it could be used for image searching! I did a search for something I had recently done using google images and was surprised by all the images that came up. Perhaps I will no longer look through clip art for images, thus avoiding embarrassment for my son. (he couldn't believe I went to microsoft clipart for an image!)

I just happened to be shown the dramatic chipmunk video within the last two days by my son! Love some of the clips, think much of it can be a waste of time.

CPL 2.0 RSS feeds

Question: Were you able to successfully set up your RSS feed? If not, where did you run into problems? If you were successful, does this make information-gathering more convenient for you?

My answer is yes I was successful, but I haven't found anything yet that I really want to be updated on. I will be on the lookout as I browse the internet on my spare time!

CPL 2.0 google universe

Question: What do you like about the Google product? What do you dislike? Would you recommend the product to friends and colleagues?

A Google product I really like is google maps. It is easy to use and when looking for someone's address for example, it's really nice to be able to do a street view to see what the house actually looks like! I would recommend it to anyone.
