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.
