PB Wiki [Thing 17]

I really like PB Wiki! When I first went, I immediately went to the "Favorite Music" section to see if anyone was there who had similar tastes in music. I form really strong friendships with people who have the same taste in music as I do. I didn't find anyone who had exactly the same taste, but I found someone with a few similar artists. I also added to the Favorite Movie page.

This is a really good site and it's pretty simple to use.

Zoho Writer [Thing 18]

Zoho Writer has probably been the most confusing "thing" I've done on here. I didn't really understand what it did for a while. When it finally clicked I realized how convenient it was. It seems like a good tool, but I wish there were more obvious instructions and explanations. I didn't even see the first document they made for me that explained it until about 10 minutes after I clicked around trying to figure out what the purpose of Zoho Writer. I'm not sure that I would use Zoho Writer outside of L2.0, but you never know.

Consumating.com [Thing 19]

For this "thing", we were supposed to explore one site out of a super long list of award winning sites. After searching almost all of them, I've decided to write about consumating.com. Consumating is a social networking site that joins people by tages they use to describe themselves. There is also a rating system for people too. Instead of spending hours browsing through hundreds of people to find someone with common interests like one might on myspace.com, you just type in a tag and everyone who entered that tag when they describe themselves comes up. The site also has various questions to answer in a clever and witty way. I signed up for an account [couldn't help it] and it's pretty good for late night net time on the weekends. Other than that I don't use it much.

The only use for this that I could see in a library setting is joining people who care about the library together.

You Tube [Thing 20]

It's been a while since I last posted. We got really busy, but I'm trying hard to catch up!

OK. So for Thing 20 we were supposed to explore YouTube. This isn't even close to being my first time using this site. I'm a teenager, so I'm on here quite a bit.

My video is of an acoustic song by My Favorite Highway when they played at Jammin Java in Vienna, VA. MFH is one of my favorite bands. They're unsigned as of now, but they're amazingly good, so it won't be long until they are. I chose this video because I went to this show a while ago and had an amazing time with my best friend. Dave (lead singer and guy playing acoustic guitar) played this new song and it's absolutely wonderful.



YouTube could possibly be used for Library Instructional Videos, but I'm not sure what else the library could use them for.

Rollyo [Thing 12]

Rollllllyyyyooooooooo!

haha whenever I say Rollyo, I have to say it like that.

My Rollyo is for Music News and Photos [go figure].

Honestly, I didn't really like this tool. I didn't even understand the concept at first. I like google/blingo a lot more. It gets the job done and I don't have to compile a list of "trusted sources".

Library Thing

I really like Library Thing. I could seriously spend hours just browsing books and finding new books to read [I'm always looking for good new books, but i have different tastes in books than all of my friends]. It's pretty simple to use. I just couldn't figure out how to get it displayed on the side of my page. Oh well.

My Library Thing!

Gooogie.co.uk [Thing 10]

Evidently, I'm the best at everything.

Haha. OK. So this is my second attempt at the whole generator deal. This one cracked me up. gooogie.co.uk is a lot of fun and it's really easy to use too!

[I'm Felicia btw.]
