jc / taco: Week 4 : Tastespotting - a community driven visual potluck
http://jc-taco.blogspot.com/2010/10/week-4-tastespotting-community-driven.html
Week 4 : Tastespotting - a community driven visual potluck. I love food, so have enjoyed looking at the photos and the odd recipe on this site. This is definitely something I could spend (or waste :p ) loads of time on. Although Tastespotting count as play, I would recommend it to patrons who have a bit of a foodie in them. I would prefer that not. The recipe I picked is: chocolate avocado pistachio cake. ( To view the recipe, please click on the title.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Heres to "exp...

9: Flickr: Easter Bunny or Guinea pig? Easter Bunny or Guinea pig? Originally uploaded by dora marie. There was another photo I saw of a bunny selling carrot juice when I was browsing, but I couldn't find it just now, so this will have to do. Flickr is definitely a place where I could spend a lot of time at, browsing through the "interstingness" part, where they say you could "Explore the gorgeousity by choosing a point in time.". 8: Roll on Rollyo. Yet another account to create? I just saw something cal...

Week 3 : FeedMyInbox - RSS made simple. And it really does. Much better than Bloglines - easier and more simple to use and more convenient because everything goes to your email account. I think I might use this if there is a blog or site that I'm really keen on following. It was fine on the staff PCs and I'm assuming it would work fine on Lear.net too. I guess I would tell patrons about this if we happen to be on a related topic, or if I was asked about RSS feeds. Week 2 : PicApp. An image from PicApp.

jc / taco: Week 2 : PicApp
http://jc-taco.blogspot.com/2010/08/week-2-picapp.html
Week 2 : PicApp. Have not finished Week 1 yet.will go back to it. An image from PicApp. PicApp is pretty easy to use, but I do find that you kinda have to be a bit more specific about the type of image you are looking for. Curious as to where the images come from, I had a quick look at the FAQ, and found that Gettyimages and ZUMA Press are two of the source of the images - no wonder then that when I type in "puppies" I get images of celebs at pet/dog-related events.

Week 3: Twitter - micro-blogging at a glance. Not so keen on Twitter. My initial reaction when I see or hear about Twitter was: who's got time for this? Having said that, signing up to Twitter was fairly easy. I doubt I would actually use Twitter, but I could see the potential it has a s a tool, in terms of promoting library services and events. Twitter could also be a way for us to connect and interact with our library users out there. Week 2: Zamzar - converting file formats. File from their flash drive.

Week 6: Facebook - playing nicely with others. Page created. Added 1 colleague. Became a fan of Manukau. Page Commented on "What I am reading Right this minute". Commented on "What is the BEST book you ever read and WHY". That was saved as a draft back in May. One month a few days later. I searched for public libraries on Facebook. And noticed that they are mostly North American, maybe it's got something to do with how they are under more funding pressure than we are? About the charges to access Facebook.

Summary of my thoughts:. Thanks for the opportunity to learn about, and to do new stuff - some which I might not have done otherwise (Twitter). I will definitely use and continue to use some of the new tools that I've learnt about, but others I feel I just don't have the time or interest for (Twitter - sorry I do see the merits of, but it's just not for me.). P ) The instructions and what was required of us were also much clearer this time round as well. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Taco plays with Rollyo.
