Thing 10
I love Delicious and will continue to use it. I plan on uploading my daily bookmarks to my blog. Delicious is a great way for us to share school library links with all the library media specialists in our district. It is a great research tool when several of us are researching the same topics. Then we can share what we each are learning. I have tried another social bookmarking tool called Porta Portal. I actually prefer Delicious more than that tool. Porta Portal is actually a good teacher tool and can download to the teacher webpages.

Thing 8 - IM
I use the IM in Facebook quite a bit. I didn't know it was there for awhile until one of my friends started to chat. I can especially see how the younger generation would love access to a reference librarian on the spot with IM. I also use the IM feature in our First Class email system occasionally.

Thing 7 BigHugeLabs
So far I have linked my Flickr account to BigHugeLabs and made a photo cube. Just haven't printed it out yet.
Thing 6 MashUps SplashR
Wow that was easy and very cool. I thought it would find lots of folks photos of the same place, but when I did it, it only showed mine but it was a neat format for viewing photos.
Adding to Map in Flickr
I did figure out how to map my photos in Flickr. I only did two. One in Colorado Springs and one in Trinidad, Colorado.
Thing 5 Flickr Linking to Blog
I can't seem to figure out how to link my FlickR page to my blog. I tried but it didn't take me where I thought it would go.
Thing 5: Flickr
I had searched Flickr quite a bit in the past. However, this is the first time I have created an account and posted some of my own photographs. I tagged all of my photos to 23Things@NEFLIN. Hope you all can see them. I was at ALA Mid Winter last week and took some photos of a few places in Colorado that I visited.
Thing 4
I really do like the fact that I only get the text first on my RSS feeds that I subscribe to. My first mistake with Google Reader RSS feeds were that I subscribed to too many. I am inundated with more than I can read. I haven't figured out how to unsubscribe yet. I will work on it this week. Google Reader is very easy to use except I can't find out how to unsubscribe.
Thing 3 Blog Searches
I did a search on Technorati and on Blogsearch.google.com. I got many more hits on Blogsearch than I did on Technorati.
