Flickr phot upload: Sunset slide

Revisting Flickr before I move on #6. I see that I didn't include the link to the slide photos that I uploaded, so here it is:

Thing #5

Bravo, Flickr. I like this one. I even uploaded a couple of photos. Hooray!

Thing # 4, pt. 2

Yeah, I messed up again. Forgot to title that last one.
Thing # 4, pt. 2
Hey, it's me again. Ok, maybe it's bloglines that gave me a cynical view of RSS. Google Reader is GRRREAT!
Now for Thing #5 . . .

Thing #4

Having spent way too much time on Thing #3, I proceed to Thing #4, the RSS which sounds like a good thing. But it seems to me that it also gives me too much. The updates feature may be valuable, though.

Call me a Luddite, go ahead. I'm trying--I'm just not sold. Maybe when I finsih #23, I'll revisit all of the Things. Time-consuming and somewhat confusing, but I like to think I'm learning something. I'm going to ask my buddy, Judith, to spend some computer time with me and the 23.

Thing #3 the 3rd

Ok. Now I also know about the Title field. By the way, I prefer Bloglines and Google to TechnROTTEN.
Okay। So my second posting on Thing 3 was a comment. Now I know the difference. Unlike the E World, though, I know it's still me.

Thing #3

Vot a trial. And leaving a cyber trail o my trial ever-where.

I think the problem is all the different passwords, usernames, accounts, etc. However, I may finally be on the verge of claiming my blog at Technorati.

Well, I just "finished" Thing 2, the Library 2.0 segment. Lots of reading for relatively little content. Can you spell "redundancy?"

Overall, it's just a way of saying that libraries will be using new technologies to better serve the patron in a more collaborative, interactive way. The philosophy of library service is unchanged, but there are new ways to expand services, even new services to add.

"The book" still exists. It is now electronic and belongs to everyone--just as in earlier times it moved from a single rare copy chained to library walls, to millions of printed copies in individual hands. Now, each person can hold all knowledge, both authentic and erroneous, in their hands AND can edit it, respond to it, share it, expand it, whatevuh.

I did find Wendy Schultz's article "To a temporary place in time . . . On the way to the library experience of the future" especially interesting. Library 3.0 & 4.0, heh? More power to it--renewable power!

Hmm

Hmm.

Well, I've done it. I think.

Now off to other things.
