thing 17

well i posted my blog website on the wiki thing. that website is interesting. i looked around at the favorite books one to see what people said it was interesting. i laughed actually when i went to the favorite music link and didnt know a single thing that was posted there! the favorite resteraunts one was interesting too. i like this website because i can get opinions on other things, to see if i want to look more into one of the things mentioned.

thing 16

interesting. its like an encyclopedia for books. and with peoples opinions and everything. i went to book lovers wiki. I like this one because i can look at what people say about books they post and decide if its something i'd want to read. it has each genre of book also. now im looking at SJCPL Subject Guides one, it looks like it could be really helpful. if i need to do research for something.

thing 15

I think its interesting that these things-Learning 2.0 and Web 2.0 have been created in order to help people, patrons and such, to understand basically how to use a library. i read the article, away from the icebergs and it was interesting, especially the part about reliance on user education and trying to get rid of barriers that are preventing patrons from learning. As oppossed to simply teaching them from the start. I agree because it amazes me sometimes how people come into the libray and dont know how to use the online catalog or database or dont even know how to use the dewey decimal system. I think its good these have been made.

thing 14-technorati

this is slightly interesting. I'm not that big on reading other people's blogs if i dont really know them, so this isn't necessarily the type of site i would go to on a regular basis. i typed learning 2.0 in the tags search and it gave me a list of things under blogs and photos and videos. when i typed it in for the blog directory search, it just gave me a list of blogs.

thing 13-del.icio.us

This del.icio.us thing is really confusing. I'm not sure I would be using it for anything in the future, although I'm sure it can be helpful to other people. I do like the idea though, of bookmarking all your sites so you dont have to go around looking on the web for everywhere you've bookmarked, especially if you're on differnt computers. However, i can't see myself using this anytime soon. If i were doing a really big research paper and needed to bookmark tons of websites and stuff, this would come in handy, especially if i dont have my laptop with me everywhere i can just use another computer and access the websites i've bookmarked.

thing 12-rollyo

I dont really see the point of this website. Its kind of confusing and I dont see myself using it to help me search for something, i prefer somthing easy like google. I typed in the word homework in the search bar and it came up with a lot of websites on homework help, which is useful, but like i said, i might as well use google. I think its a slighty confusing website beause it gives you websites and blogs and news results which i dont really need when im searching for something.

thing 11-library thing

Well, this website didn't have that much of an interest for me. I'm not that big on cataloging, and besides the only books i put in my 'library' were ones that i've read already. I'd rather have a list of books, that i haven't read yet, but i dont have a list, since i don't know the names of books i haven't read yet! Anyways the books i put on my library were my favorites, and apparently i like reading michael crichton. I want to read his new book, 'next', it looks good. Anyways, here is the link for my library: http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=indian_dv
