Discovering Web 2.0 Tools
Since everything is online thesedays. We can get answers and advice on every topic. Once you go to ask something in concern to everyday life as well, You can click on ask question and it only ask you ID, Which we have or can make one. It will be quite helpful in our library system as library is a place where we get customers asking all type of questions. We can link with our library site and probably will be a great help for customers.

# 18 Week 8 Zoho
I found zoho writer great and interesting. I created my account with Zoho and I tried to access it it was closing saying microsoft has encountered a problem on other day. But When I tried it today it worked very well. We can create our document and save it online, can also edit it offline and can see changes when we go online again. Instead of emailing people we can share document with people and can add people who want to read only and others who can edit it. We can publish that document in our blog or can make it public as well and that's what I did.

Week 7 or Thing 17
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=1000354823&albumID=0&imageID=224232
After that I created my a/c with facebook because it doesn't allow you to look through without creating a/c and it ask to find friends. Actually Face book is quiet good social networking site.
Lastly I looked at Hennepin-County-Library and That is pretty cool. They have got lots of fans and you can chat with librarian and some people were putting wall posts on that. Since I have face book account It takes me directly there where other people are and I can find friends.

Tagging, Folksonomies & Social bookmarking in Del.icio.us
I enjoyed looking at
http://www.librarytechtonics.info/
http://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com/ To create tags for bookmarks take a bit of fiddling and once you know how and I got carried away organising it all. I think I can bookmark page where I can keep all the things what I learnt and my experience through journey of Web2.0 and also I can keep record of my favourite websites.

Still Wiki....ing
I had a play with the manukaulearn.pbwiki.com/ and I listed my blog under Favourite Blogs and found it very interesting and the easiest exercise to do, All I had to do was log in and click on any favourites title to edit it . To complete this exercise I decided to add my blog to Favourite Blogs page and I also made comments on Favourite Numbers.

magic garden tree
I had another flickr fun by using flickr color pickr. It is very easy as what you have to do is choose a particular colour and flickr finds the public photos that matches your favourite chosen color. I chose the flower color pickr and clicked on the dark pink as in flowers I like pink more than any color then I got magic garden tree.
To find out that click on this link.
Locating a few useful library related blogs and/or news feeds
syndic8.com/ took a long time to load. Once things come up it took long time to go further.
technorati.com/ was intersting and I could find blogs on paticular subject by doing a search.

RSS Feed
From the tutorial provided, I figured out how to set up bloglines account and to subscribe various news feed.
Library Thing was interesting to play around with. There was huge range of books and also connect to people who read same thing.
After subscribing to various news feed, library related blogs and leisure feeds I can get latest news of interest straight away without searching the computer.
Then I looked at suggested search tools Topix.net, Syndic8.com & Technorati which can be used to find RSS feeds of interest.
The public link of my bloglines account is

Shining Stars
I had fun creating this blog. That was my first time. But I followed the instructions and it was quite easy. I have chosen blue colour template because I like blue colour. The first thing was to name the blog. I had a little bit thought but then I thought start with something positive.
