Thing 13 - Twitter

I tried out Twitter. My screen name is beverlyjw1978. I would not use Twitter to actually let people know what I am doing or my thoughts at the moment. But I could see a use if you had a group and wanted to contact everyone quickly. Your group ofcourse would have to be logged on to their twitter account. I am following 4 people from NLC and have 1 follower. I tried the direct message, a reply, and the tiny url. I got an "error on page" message when I was trying the direct reply. I think this application is interesting once you get beyond the thought that this is used to microblog to let people know "what you are doing".

Thing 12: LibraryThing

I have looked at LibraryThing before. We have a link to it on our web site. I was just trying to figure out what I would use it for??? As a list of my favorite books? A list of books I want to read? Or maybe a catalog of books I own. Anyway I did look around and added 5 titles. I then found a spot where you can add a library and events. I added our library and some of our library events to LibraryThings' events postings. I also need to add a picture of the HPL building. Here is my LibraryThing profile. http://www.librarything.com/profile/beverlyjw1978 Here is my bookshelf http://www.librarything.com/catalog/beverlyjw1978

Thing 10 - Image Generators

I played with MagMyPic and made a magazine cover and also FD's Flicker Toys. I used the BigHudgeLab Warholizer and made some pop art. Here's some applications that you can have some fun with and get carried away with.

Flicker Web applications & 3rd party tools - Thing 9

There is so much on these lists that it's overwhelming. Lots of fun applications. I used "Spell with Flicker" to spell my name. It will be fun to play with some more of these apps.

Thing 8 - Flicker

Flicker seems like an interesting technology that would be good for personal use. Maybe the library might use it to post photos from events??? I didn't really look for an interesting photo. I searched for "Husker" and came up with a lot of pictures. Surprised? http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=huskers

Finding Feeds

It would be helpful to use one of these search engines if I there was something that I wanted to find. I tried a few searches and I didn't really find much that I wanted to subscribe to. I will come back to this in the future.
