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.
