Week 6: #13 Tagging

The tutorial was too fuzzy to watch the entire thing, but the Del.icio.us site was interesting. I explored all sorts of areas, including making a new South Park character. This is certainly a great (and fun) research tool.

Week 5: #10 Playing with images

Yahoo! Avatars
I liked playing around with all the options for Avatars. With this , you can become anyone you want!

Week 5: #12 Library Elf I had to try several times to get into this site, but finally did. This service is nice, but our library pretty much provides the same thing. Also, I wasn't real happy about putting my private information out there.

Week 5: #11 Library Thing This was a fun exercise! What a great way to keep track of all the books you've read. I have a hard time remembering what I read last month, let alone last year, so this will keep me up to date. Thanks, Library Thing.

Week 5: #10 Playing with image generators I was surprised and pleased to find a picture of one of my favorite characters in this exercise. It was fun doing this and moving images to and from Flickr is getting easier. With my memory slowly drifting, this image could be me someday!

Week 4: #9 Finding feeds

I had no idea there were sooo many search tools and feeds that were available. I'm not what you would call computer literate. Bloglines and Feedster were the easiest for me to use. Those of you with computer savvy, might like something more challenging! I didn't particularly care for Technorati-too much movement for my old eyes. All in all, it's good to know there's so many areas to find answers with just a click of the mouse.

Week 4:#8 RSS

I liked the idea of creating a blogline,however,the instructions to do it were a little confusing. After getting past the validation, it was pretty interesting. I like the idea that you can subscribe to ihcpl participant's blogs.I never knew there were bloglines out there!
