Week 3 : FeedMyInbox - RSS made simple

Created an account and added Auckland City Libraries blog, Manukau Libraries blog and Christchurch Libraries blog .It was easy to follow.I am not so sure that i will use it or not.Can recommend to customers if they are interested.

Week 2 : Picapp - the best images for your blog

Got it at last but not so easy to use.I suppose we have to read the instructions and get our heads around it. Used this image because this is one of the places i want to visit, heard a lot about it.If the customers have a purpose they might use it if we recommend.Younger brains will be able to work out easier ways to download photos.

Week 1 : Box.net - online file storage

Created an account on Box.net and saved a word document which was quite easy to do.Yes we can use for work purpose by opting to share folders with team . I might use it if i need to save files for personal use instead of carrying memory stick.I would advice customers to use box.net to save documents. We have cases in the library where they use USB and forget to remove when they leave as a result they lose all their work if it gets nicked.I found it useful.

Week 6 : Facebook - playing nicely with others

Yew end of session forgot to put comments.I have used facebook before where i share photos with other family members.It's cool when you have your family far away.Facebook helps to connect and share with family members and friends.For public libraries we can connect and share what is new,what's happening around us ,promote programmes and share heaps of other things ,it's fantastic.

Week 5 : Music files and mp3s

Not a very good music fan but it's good to know some of the free sites we can direct customers to. I logged into amazon.com and had a browse through the site. Surprisingly i found some indian music you can download at a small cost which is fantastic since i listen to indian music.
It paid me going through this exercise it was great.

Week 4 - Books and Social Networking

Goodreads - It gives recent book reviews and how people have rated them.I also went into different genre and found some good books to read.Signed up into Goodreads.It is a good tool to use for readers advisory .I will be using it for my Book Bites Club and sharing it with the members. It's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week 3- Twitter

It's great!!!!!to connect with people of similar interest ,get updates of events happening around you.Went into Manukau libraries twitter had a look at Pakuranga libraries new look and left comments.it's easy to use and would recommend customers to access the libraries twitter for reviews and updates.Once you are there you seem to get hooked into it!!!!!!!!!!time factor ooop's better get out.
