Technorati

I wasn't really interested in this activity. It seemed to me that most of the popular blogs were very "techie". No offense to anyone, it is just that I am not very "techie" nor am I that into gadgets, so... I did get a chuckle or two watching some of the popular videos!

WIKI

This is a fun one. This is one I can definitely use! It is certainly a great way to organize things. I can use this one with the teens too and I can use it to keep my softball team organized!!

Google Docs

I like this exercise. I think I would find these programs very useful, personally and professionally. I work in YA so I think that it would be fun to "invite people as collaborators". I could certainly use this with the teens when I am working on programs and such (they probably know more than I do when it comes to this stuff).

NetLibrary and WorldCat

Both of these sites are really easy to navigate. How ironic that we, at the reference desk in Brick, were just discussing NetLibrary this morning because there was an article in the NY Times about this site and ebooks, and then it ends up being a discovery exercise! I searched for a Martin Sexton cd on the WorldCat site and found that the closest library that has a copy is Mercer. For anyone who likes a little jazzy, folky music, check this guy out-he is amazing!

Librarything

This is pretty neat. I need to explore it more but I am finding that it is really easy to use. Finally, something I understand! I didn't find any discussions on the books I added, but some of the books I added are pretty popular.

Technology Blogging

I am simply amazed with all the new technology! I am also terrified of what my 1 and 3 year olds are going to have access too in the very near future! I finally played the WII Thursday night. It's incredible how advanced these video games are. I lost most of the games I played, probably because I was playing against teenagers who thought I was crazy for never have playing the game before. I did win a bowling match!
