Finished

Well I have taken longer to finish than I anticipated, between being sidetracked by WORK and my computer not being my friend I have had a spell of not blogging. Some of the area's we looked at had great potential and some not so much in my opinion, now remember that is only my opinion and those that know me know I like to hand it out free. I have learnt a great many things doing this course and hope if anyone asks me for help it will all come back to me and I will be fountain of knowledge. Thank you to the organisers for all of their hard work and also to all the participants who left comments to make us laugh and to give advice for those of us who were struggling.

Geocaching

Well, I am not sure if I have the right idea about this, I was thinking if you had a reading group you could have different finishing points and where you finished would define which book you read that month. It would be an opportunity to introduce people to books they may never have picked up to read. Of course you would have to have the funds and the staff to put this into practice but it could make for an interesting way to discover new authors. Maybe it could be a holiday activity for the young adults whom we sometimes over look in those holiday programs, lets be honest anytime a teen is not inside with a game controller in their hand is worth the effort.

Podcasting

Maybe libraries could share guest speakers with other libraries, it would allow for a wider variety of subjects to be available to our patrons. It is almost imposable to please all patrons with the choices we can make in services we make available to them. As with book loans, we can't possibly have every book all patrons want to read on our shelves. (Thank goodness for Inter Library Loans) Maybe this same line of thought can be used with talks on all kinds of subject and especially talks from authors.

How to Tie Dye Shirt Designs : Basic Spiral Patterns for Tie Dye Shirts

So I thought some people might like to . give this a shot, I know it is not everyones cup of tea but maybe it will inspire a little home fashion. Look up some other ways to die cloths, it can make some of those 'I don't wear anymore' cloths find there way out of your wardrobe back on to the 'visiting friends' list. And you don't have to tie dye, I die lots of my cloths one colour just to get a new look, also it is just another way to recycle.

January - Pilot (remastered HQ audio)

This is random, nothing to do with the web 2.0 Listening to a friends 10 year old telling "in January we are going to" this popped into my head. So now I am sharing it with all of you.

Social Networking

I have used Facebook for some time now, it helps me keep in touch with friends that are interstate or oversea's or simply way to busy to keep up with. My children all use Facebook and have to be my friend to be on it, I know control freak.

I have never used twitter before and haven't yet used it enough to decide if I like it or not, I suppose I can let you know how I feel about that later. If you would like to twitter me then you will need to know my twitter name. 'munatwork' Yep my imagination ran away with me. LOL

All you fellow Web 2.0 people keep on keeping on.

Tag

I might use this in my private life, it helps when you are using different computers. For work purposes I can see the value. As often we have to sit at different computers it would be good to have this info at your fingertips rather than google searching for the same site again. Also we all find different things because we use different terminology when we search so having access to what other people find is a great idea. Customers often ask for help looking for things that others may have asked before so having this tool available too them could save us a good amount of time. Anyway below is a like to my bookmarks, not much on there at the moment but I will keep working on it.
