What did you find interesting? I can see how this might be a useful tool, however, the library wiki was visually unappealing as well as redundant. I liked the Book Review wiki.
What types of applications within libraries might work well with a wiki? I think a Book Review wiki would be useful. Patrons could add their comments to books that have been reviewed by another person.

Week #9
Would you use either or both of these sites? Why? One of my goals in life is to never own a television. If I had internet access at home, I could see how these sights might be useful in that I could view some of the shows that get a lot of buzz.
Would either of these sites be useful for libraries? These sights might save Jim a lot of "Staff Collection Suggestion" emails. We have patrons that take advantage of our new ability to request DVDs of television shows. While scrolling through some of the titles of television shows on Hulu, I noticed several titles that have been requested but don't meet our acquisition criteria. Hulu and Fancast are great means of meeting these patrons needs.

What features do you like or dislike about the site(s) you visited? I don't like the fact that when searching for friends, entries from people who do not want to be public appear.
What do you think makes them so popular? I can see how playing around in Facebook could be fun. I ended up getting a little lost in searching for old friends. Also, they are most likely a good way to keep in touch with people.

en attendant d'avoir des balles....
This guy is amazing! His self portraits are all very unique but I think this one is the best.

Week #6
I had a great time playing around in Finetunes. At first, I thought it would be difficult to create a list of 45 titles but once I got started, it was a breeze. Great fun.

What do you like about RSS and feed readers? Its a nifty means of saving a few minutes here and there.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work or personal life? I can certainly see the benefits for patrons if they subscribed to library RSS feeds.
How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology? Informa patrons about programming, new material and library news.
If you’re already using a feed reader, share your experiences with your co-workers.
Which one do you use? NA
Do you find it useful to get posts right when they are published? NA

Week 4
I was finally able to get back on the 2.0 train today. Had a brief IM session with a friend. This is a service that I have not used before as I do not have Internet. I do see, however, how this could be a useful service for libraries.
