OK. so I lied when I said that I was finished. I've been putting off Thing 15 because it seems like it's really boring, buutttt since it's the last one I have to do it!
The article I most agree with is the one that talks about how L2.0 is good for improving ways to communicate. L2.0 provides people with a way to share knowledge and get some in return. It does go all over the Internet instead of staying in just one part. It enables people to stay in touch who can work together to build a better library community. If everything continues at the rate that it's going, L2.0 is going to be HUGE.

FINISHED! [Thing 23]!!
Woohoo! I'm finally finished!
For some reason this took a lot longer than I expected it to, but it was worth it. I learned a lot of new things through this program and I'm glad that we were able to take part in this.
Learning 2.0 gave me a change to sit down and take the time to go through things that I've been wanting to do for a while. I found out about Flickr through here and I love it so much! I learned about Technorati [and I've been seeing tons of things linked back to there recently], and I finally learned what an RSS feed was!
I will definitely be taking a lot away from this experience and using it all in the future. The new skills learned here will really help me become a better lifelong learner. If another program similar to this was offered, I'd certainly do it.

Audiobooks [Thing 22]
I've wanted to try out Audiobooks for a really long time now. It turns out that I can't download them from home [I have a mac], so I'll have to find somewhere else to do it from! I had no idea that there were so many books available for download. When I find somewhere, I'm going to DL The Weather Makers: [How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life On Earth] because I'm doing a project on Global Warming and because I'm just really interested in it.
Podcasts! [Thing 21]
Podcasts aren't new to me at all. I subscribe to tons of podcasts including National Geographic and Askheychris and I make my own too! I usually get my podcasts from itunes, so I couldn't connect and add them on here. Podcasts are fun and a good way to pass the time [by listening or making them!]. Library podcasts could be very useful to tell patrons about new books or changes in their libraries.

Technorati [Thing 14]
I think Technorati is really cool! I found my own personal blog on there by accident, and the other day I got a comment from someone who found it on there too! I thought that that was pretty cool since I had learned what that was with Learning 2.0. Even though a lot of the things I searched didn't come up with the results I wanted, I could see how this would be a useful tool. The popular tags had some interesting stuff in them. The Awkwardness Survival Guide was really funny and PostSecret was on there too.
Thing 13
I'm not a huge fan of Del.icio.us. There's not much to do one there except for check out websites that other people used, but you only get to see the really popular ones that you already know about.
It could be helpful for research topics though. If there was a school project going on and all the websites on that topic were in one place, it could save people a lot of time that they'd spend wandering around the library trying to find something with their topic.

Library Success [Thing 16]
I chose the Library Success Wiki. http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
I like this one because there's one section where librarians can enter their AIM screen name. I'm always looking for new people to talk to and these people are from all over the country!
There are a lot of useful things under here for librarians to use, and they're all under detailed lists so that you can directly get to what you want.
