Wrap-Up/Reflections

Finally the end! I made it! What a learning process!

I'm quite impressed with myself for finishing this. When I
started I didn't know very much about all this web stuff.
Now I feel like when someone talks about it or asks about
RSS or Blogging at lest I have an idea of what their talking about.

Some of my favorite discoveries were:

RSS feeds-Now I know what that little icon means.
MySpace-Interesting
Goodreads-If I can keep up with it.
iTunes-Love the website. I down load music all the time
and will try podcasting more.

I thought it was almost to much information to retain.
I hope I can remember it all.
I didn't like signing up for websites that I knew I wouldn't use.

I was surprised with MySpace. I really was against having a MySpace
and put it off for awhile, but after getting it going and using it I like it.

I'm glad I did this class, I never would have learned about this on
my own.

Alternative Blogging

Microblogging, Twitter, Jaiku, Tumbler where do people have the
time to do all this stuff. I can't keep up with my blog let alone all
of these. I really don't want to know what people are doing every
minute of the day and I wouldn't want them to know what I was
doing.

The only good thing I could see with Twitter is companies that need
to keep in touch quickly.

Audio/Video: Video

Here is a video from YouTube, its one of our own!

I think these one minute critics are great for book talks. I think the
libraries could use videos for lots of things. Besides book talks they
could tell about programs going on in each library, do "how to" videos
and show what the library does.

All the different websites were a bit overwhelming for me.
I'm not into all that stuff so I probably won't use it.
