Twitter May 25/10

I looked at the information about Twitter. I am sure glad that there is a limit of 140 characters that can be used. It isn't something I plan on using. I can see the fascination of it appealing to people however I wonder if it will create a generation of people that have to be connected to feel alive. They are ignoring their surroundings so much that I wonder what will happen to our culture and our planet.

Library Thing May 17/10

I went in to Library Thing. I found it very easy to navigate and it would be a wonderful site to keep track of the books you have, read or plan on reading. I liked the recommended titles because they shows a wide variety of titles to consider. I will be suggesting this website to our customers to help them keep track of their wishlist.

Online Productivity Tools May 10/10

I looked at Google Calendar and Google Docs. I definitely liked Google Docs. I liked the variety of templates, how easy they are to use and they are free to us. I do see these free online tools replacing expensive software like MS Office. I will be using Google Docs in the future.

Flickr & YouTube May 03/10

I use YouTube on a regular basis to see what I'm interested in. I find it very easy to use. I can put in a subject heading or be very specific on what I want to see.
I have looked at Flickr and I do find wonderful pictures of what I am interested in. By using a general subject heading I find a lot. I do wish that the people would put a heading or something about the picture so that it tells me went and where the picture was taken.
