Twitter

What kind of information is being posted by the library accounts above? What kind of information should libraries post?

I think the posts by the departments and branches is excellent because they are all about promoting the library. What a great marketing tool!

LibraryThing

Do you see any practical applications for LibraryThing either at home or at work? Will you start using this site?

I will totally use Librarything in the future. I have been looking for something like this for years. Totally cool.

Online Productivity Tools

Do you see free online tools like these eventually replacing expensive software like MS Office?


I suspect the free online tools are the future. MS Office is a very expensive program and why pay for it when there are lots of free options that work well.

Flickr & YouTube

Comment on the quality, entertainment value, or usefulness of the content on these sites.

Who doesn't love youtube and flickr! Everything is on youtube. My teenage daughter has learned how to properly apply make up from youtube! I think sharing pictures and videos is one of the best aspects of the internet!

RSS Feeds

Were you able to successfully set up your RSS feed? If not, where did you run into problems? If you were successful, does this make information-gathering more convenient for you?

I had no problems setting up the RSS feeds through bloglines. It was easy to do.

I prefer to spend time looking at websites instead of setting up RSS Feeds. It is just the way I roll.
