del.icio.us

Browsing through del.icio.us, it looks like it could be very helpful. I'm not sure how much I will use it at the moment, but it seems like it could be useful. Tagging and sharing sounds like a good thing, as well as being able to use your bookmarks at any computer.

My Space and Facebook

Interesting how Facebook has really grown in the 18-25 year old range. It definitely sounds like a place to reach that age range.

I checked Libraryman blog and Librarian in Black's blog. Never really thought that some kids might not want us "invading" their space. It makes sense that we keep up with what's happening in their world.

I am alright with libraries participating in social networking sites. I do wonder how much our Myspace account is really used.

Searching in RSS

I found Google Blog Search to be the easiest to search. I also tried Blogline search and Feedster and Topix.net. In most searches, the results were a bit broad. But, I did manage to find a few blogsites that might be helpful.

Learning about RSS

I learned a bit about RSS feeds today. I think it could be useful in keeping up with the most current news and information. Currently, I've mainly used emails to get the latest. (I still like reading the newspaper every morning too, rather than news websites.) Maybe that will change. I see how this could save a lot of time.

Simba in the snow

This is Simba, our Siberian cat. He is just one year old. He is really a house cat, but we let him go exploring outside once in a great while.

Playing with Flickr and other sites

It was fun to explore Flickr and some of the other sites. I thought spelling with Flickr was kind of neat, as well as the Color Pickr. I thought those might be useful. Montagr was interesting, but didn't think it would be of much use. I thought Retrievr seemed a little strange to use - don't know how useful it would be. Trading cards looked like they could be fun, but I didn't actually try that one. That's how it went for today.

It seems so much like spring today, I thought I would post a picture of this crocus. I actually tried another photo and it kept coming up blank - even with help from Lisa! Anyway, here it is.
