Thing #5 Podcasting & Video Sharing

I am lost on this one. I'll have to try later.

Thing #4 Flickr

That was fun. It took a lot of time, but I think I did it. It was good to learn about photosharing. I know a lot of people who use these sites, but I thought it would be too complicated for me. I am going to try to use it more.

I think sharing library photos publicly wouldn't be of much use for patrons. It seems like it would be hard to locate just the Roselle Public Library. Maybe photos on our website would be more accessible. Just my opinion.

Thing 3 Social Networking

What to say about "FACEBOOK." I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I do. I only signed up because my daughter suggested that I sign up when she signed up. All I can say is that Facebook is WAY FUN! I have communicated with friends and family members that I rarely see or talk to. I have been able to share pictures and events and have been able to view pictures and hear about other's events. A big plus: lots of fun applications and games.

I was concerned about privacy at first, but now that I have been using Facebook for over a year now, my concerns have been alleviated. As long as I set my account to Private, and accept only friends that I trust, there should be no problems with any public interference.

Don't be afraid. Give it an honest try.

Thing 2 RSS

OMG! This was hard. I can understand how this would be a very valuable tool. I just need to understand it a little better. As far as the Library is concerned, being able to get updates from frequently used sites has to be a time saver. I am going to try to find time to practice so that I can become more familiar with it.
