librarystuff.net

I discovered an interesting blog site called librarystuff.net.

It highlights current happenings in the information world.

For example, Mrs. Bush and her daughter are going to get together and write a kid's book about a boy who likes to do anything but read.

By the Way I like to play

I had fun with play week. I enjoyed creating my avatar. Meez had a lot of fun options, but I had to log on several times for it to work.

LIBRARY CHICK ROCKS!

The End

Overall, I think that this program opened my eyes to a variety of newly emerged technology.

There are some programs I enjoyed more than others. In particular:

• Library Thing
• Rollyo
• creating an avatar
• Flicker

Then there were some other things I did not like (no opinions here).....De.licio.us and Technorati

Oh, I forgot.... I liked SandBox Wiki

Project Gutenburg.....is a great source to locate classic or hard to find sources in audio....might be helpful for highschool students

I would like to see a change within the 23 things so that all the links in the program work.

Delicious left a sour taste in my mouth. ( 2 links didn't work)

Overall my experiences were good, so if offered I would participate again.

Going Ape for Audio

I am a huge fan of audiobooks.

Tapes and CD's.......

I have not downloaded a book from the computer yet!

I am going to get an MP3 player soon.........

Next semester I am doing an independent study on audiobooks...looking at technological advances amongst other things.

Project Gutenburg...is a wealth of knowledge.....great resource for classic literature some of was hard to find

Overdrive....has a lot of diverse books....popular...John Grisham...James Patterson

Audio is awesome.

Rollyo Rock on

I really enjoyed Rollyo. Think of the endless possibilities of creating databases with the topics of interest you love the best.

Great idea.

Yelp

Yelp! Yowzers ;<)

It is very nice to know that I can go to a site that reviews and ranks stores, restaurants etc....from a non-experts point of view. When something was given a not so hot review their justification was there. Sometimes I feel critics can be too biased.

In the state of Maryland only major cities like Baltimore and Annapolis were included.



Another site I looked at was Judy's Book. Although I think this site could have great potential, it misses the mark. Some cities in Maryland had no deals......there has to be at least one deal.......of the cities that did have deals, most of them were found in Valuepack which people receive in the mail.

I was hoping to find some sales and deals that I could not find elsewhere.
