twitter

I have to say that I am happy we don't have to sign up for twitter to complete this assignment. I have had someone contact me on facebook from doing the facebook assignment and he was VERY inappropriate! The tweets on the library sites seem to be useful information for customers, and I think that is exactly what they should be about. Although I must say, I won't use twitter myself, but for those who do use it and want to follow a particular branch, this is great!

library thing

I signed up for an account with library thing and took the tour. I then searched for a book. I think it was user friendly enough, but I don't think it's my kind of site. If I could read the books while at the site, that might be different, but I don't own that many books to need to keep them organized, and it's not important for me to keep track of what I've read. I will not be using this site again.

I tried the google calendar. I may use it again, it's nice to have a back up of my calendar online. I use my phone and a calendar at home, but backing up as much as possible is always a good idea. I could see how this online calendar could catch on because it would make it easy to see appointments etc from anywhere as long as you have internet access.

You tube and Flickr

I find that both Flickr and you tube are user friendly. I use You tube on a regular basis and have used flickr in the past while taking a photo course. Both sites are great for entertainment value and for sharing photos and videos
