Thing 19

The podcast sites that I used were: Podcast.com and Yahoo Podcasts. I found that Yahoo Podcasts were the easiest for me. At this time I have not done a Podcast myself, but maybe sometime in the future.

Thing 18

This was interesting and fun to do. I thought this one was cute, and I know that everyone has seen cats do funny things. I thought this video almost covered it in whole. HAHAHA Enjoy a few laughs with this video.

Thing 17

ELM tools, I thought was interesting although I felt in my position, I really do not have a need for this at this time.

Thing 16

I really liked the Assignment Calculator & Research Project Calculator. I have a pre-teen with alot of homework and he does not always have the best organizational skills. This would help him and me alot. I will have to show a couple of teachers at his school that work with him. I really like this one, because it would better the skills of my children and their homework.

Thing 15

Online games and libraries~
I signed up for an account with "Second Life", the tour was interesting. I am not sure how it would fit in with a library though. But it might be a fun way to bring in more patrons.

Thing 14

The LibraryThing is very interesting and would be great to use when reading books on a regular basis. At this time it was hard for me to do the catalog part, because in this time of my life I spend my extra time with my second job and working with homework from my 3 children. This would be something that I would use when my children are a little more grown and independent.

Thing 13

Online Productivity Tools ~ this was very interesting.
I customized a home page - My Yahoo, this feature is nice, because I can see the information that interests me.
I looked at the different calendars, but I find that I am just not on the computer enough after work, to make something like this work for me at this point.
I thought that the "Remember the Milk" tool was neat, and would be something that I would use at some point in life when I was a little more dependent on electronics. I dont have a cell phone, no internet at home, no IPOD, etc.
In the Backpack features, I like the group calendar, this would be a wonderful feature to have as a Frontline person in the administration office of a library system.

Thing 12

I liked the Newsvine Home Page and the Mixx Home Page, I thought that their set up was good and the sites were easy to get around. I think that these tools could be a productivity enhancer but could also be a detractor. It would depend on the use and the information. I did read a story after seeing it on Newsvine. I find it interesting that so many sites can report the same thing, but say it different.

Thing 11

This is different, it takes some getting use to it. I think after using it for awhile, I would be more comfortable. Kinda like a break-in a new pair of shoes. HAHAHAHA
