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.

Learn about Wiki

I think wikis are great way of collecting up and then sharing information. I looked at several library wikis and found that Princeton Library wikis nicest to use. It is small and for reviews of books. Wikis can be used in many ways in libraries but some examples could be In Manukau Libraries we can have wiki for staff to access and customers to use to post reviews about books and linking that to library catalogue. It will help customers to choose books on catalogue.
When I looked libraryforlife.org/subjectguides/ that was interesting as well. Our Libraries can have wiki like that which can include subject headings for Fiction-Crime, Historical, NZ fiction, General Fiction, Adventure, Science Fiction, YA fiction, Children Fiction and Nonfiction-computers, Cooking, Health, History, Sports, Science.

Anything technology related that interests you this week....

My favourite technological thing at this moment has been my cell phone. My cell phone is slim design with great audio quality. It has easy music access in one touch crystal clear sounds with dedicated chip. I can enjoy high quality stereo music from phone, mp3 player, pda or pc. I can download any of the songs I want, I can even hook it up to the radio in my house and hear them loudly if I want, It's just great. I can take photos on my phone and can store them on my phone as well as short movie clips along with their audio soundtrack and now I have Flickr account I can share photos with my friends and family.

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.

Locating a few useful library related blogs and/or news feeds

topix.net has got kids and teen directory, where appropiateweb sites for kids and teen could be found.
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.

Exploring Flickr....

It was a great fun exploring flickr. I created my flickr account that was pretty straight forward and I already have a Yahoo ID, So I used the same for that. After that I looked some interesting pictures and I loaded the one I like. Because I like natural beauty this is perfect example of that.

Roll Your Own Search Engine With Rollyo

I found Rollyo very interesting. I followed the instructions that were clearcut how to set up your account. To creat my own searchroll I can pick up the sites I want to search and a custom search engine will be created for me and will bring up all the sites related to that subject can be accessed.

In the libraries kids and teens and always come to the librarians and ask for help in homework. Other thing is that I like cooking as in our house we do lots of cooking. By inspired from that I created two searchrolls. My Homework & My recipes.

RSS Feed

It took a long time to set up the online RSS links as pages were not loading and flicking between screens was also time consuming.
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.
