Rollyo

I created a search roll of my favorite online bookstores. http://www.rollyo.com/judybelle/my_online_bookstores/

Library Thing

I have used Library Thing in the past. It is a great way to record what you have enjoyed reading, what you want to read in the future, or what you hated so much you would never read again. My father-in-law was complaining to me that he kept forgetting what book he left off on in a series so I recommend the website to him and now he uses it all the time.

Image Generator

Here is a smiley face I created using one of the image generators. The link for the site is http://www.ezsmiley.com/create.php.

Lack of Web Etiquette

I have to say that while looking at the different websites to find various RSS feeds, I was surprised at some of the blogs. I have heard that people do not have the same manners online as they do in the real world, but I thought it was disturbing to see how rude some people are. I think two main contributers to this are the fact that people don't have to see/meet the people they are calling dumb f***s and other obscene names and that they can do it all while remaining anoymous. It is good to have a place to discuss many of the issues that are going on in our world but a lot of people are not using their better judgement in the way they post. Arguments and discussions can be healthy but the way that many people are conducting them with so many insults is doing more harm than good.

RSS Feeds

RSS feeds make it easier to view many different websites' information in a much quicker way.

Technology Related Post

I am not sure what to say about technology except that I just bought a new scanner and have been busy scanning old family photos in it to back them up in case something happens to the originals. Once I get more done I will be posting them on one of the many photo sharing websites to allow the rest of my family access to them when they want. I will probably be using snapfish.com.

Flickr

The Flickr Toy to create motivational posters looks like it might come in handy in the future. It looks like a lot of fun. http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/

I thought this was a beautiful picture. The way the trunk of the tree grew is fasinating. Here is the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/popsdigital/416380991/

Library 2.0 Challenges

The hardest part of the Library 2.0 exercises is going to be finding time to do them at work with minimal interruptions, but as long as it is okay if we go at our own pace and can play catch up every once and awhile this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Here is my blog.
