Facebook

I have started using Facebook. It's pretty neat, although a time waster! I did discover that a childhood friend just had a baby!

It's The End(?) of My Blog As We Know It

I have enjoyed working on the Web 2.0 Exploration project. I learned a lot about what in the heck the patrons are doing all day on our computers! I hope the project will remain on the Intranet so that I can refer back to it from time to time. Some things I will continue to use, especially Library Thing because, well, libraries are MY thing. Whether I will post any more to this blog remains to be seen...

Social Bookmarking

I think it will take me a while to get used to this. I'm pretty content using the library's recommended sites and google. It doesn't take me long to find sites I visit on a regular basis.

Wikis

I never liked group projects in school, and wikis seem to be like group projects. I like having more control over my own work, and wikis take that away. I don't like the idea of someone changing what I have written without asking me first.

I do think wiki's could be useful for group get togethers. If people post what food they are going to bring, there would be less duplication.

My Boys Reading

Check out this link from the B&O Railroad Museum's website (until 9/2/8):

Zoho

I liked using Zoho. It was very similar to Word. Formatting the text was a little frustrating. It seemed I had to pick a font before changing the color. I think Zoho could be useful for the PTH's because we work at different branches and accessing Zoho is easy. The drawback, of course, is security.

I'm not sure if I would use online office tools a lot because I don't have to create documents often. I think online office tools could be very useful for group projects.
