Library 2.0

I was looking out on google and just did a search on library 2.0 and came across this great site that actually has 100 FREE Library 2.0 resources, artciles, pod casts, tutorials, you name it! The link is:

Of course the first thing I went to took me to tametheweb and Michael Stephens is talking about "Scary things and great opportunities" see here http://tametheweb.com/talks08/Web2.0StephensPLA.pdf

Delicious!

I know a lot of people who use this, today I transferred over all of my favorites from IE and added new ones, I love it, and know I will use this one. http://delicious.com/asmalley

Library Thing

I spent quite a while at library thing cataloging books, searching books, creating a profile, not sure how much/if I will keep using this but it is interesting. http://www.librarything.com/profile/angsmalley

Twitter

This is addictive, I finally created my account and am already following 8 people in 5 minutes! LOL here is the link to my twitter http://twitter.com/angelasmalley my username is angelasmalley. Come follow me!

I love Flicker!

I have tried flicker before, just looked around, but never set-up an account. My last "thing" was to create a flicker account and post pictures and I love it! I take so many pictures of my daughter and like to share them with family & friends. This is a great way to share these pictures. We have family that lives out of state and let me tell you- sending pictures through email is not fun! This is much easier and FASTER! I will be using this a lot!

Here we go

I can't believe how fast and easy it was to create this blog! It only took a few minutes and presto, here we go! I am very excited to be taking part in such a great program and to test out a lot of things I have never done... blogging, flicker... just to name a few. I am going to encourage family members and friends to join in and do this with me, and my hopes are that some of this will lead to great ways to stay in touch with family and friends that live out of town. What better way to share pictures, experiences, etc.. I am going to experiment with this blog more later- the layout, font, and ways to make it unique. More to come soon!
