Week 6: #13 Tagging makes the web 2.0 world go round

Well, I have gotten a little behind on the iHCPL schedule but I am back and ready to start catching up. I am on week 6 and have just toured the iHCPL Del.icio.us site (again). The capabilities offered on this site are wonderful. I have saved many Internet sites as "favorites" on my work profile as well as on my personal account but it is so helpful to have all of them on one site that I can access from anywhere! The bonus is that now you can access similar websites others have found through Del.icio.us widening your options and searches tremendously. I created a Del.icio.us account for myself several weeks ago when I first started working on this assignment and I use it regularly. It's fantastic!

Week 5: #12 The "Library" Elf will remind you!

Library Elf would be great for someone who has multiple library cards. As it is I have only a Harris County card and I am already sent reminders via email. If I am still late I can only blame myself.

Week #5 Library Thing

Library Thing is great! While trying to add books I discovered just how many books I enjoyed but for which I could remember neither title nor author. I intend to add books in my personal collection as well as favorites. Though I did not add comments about my books yet it would be a great resource to do so and I will in the future.

Week 5 #10 Image Generators

This was a fun exercise! I chose the movie poster image generator from FD Toys though it was hard to choose only one. For a novice like me it was extremely easy to do. Avatars were interesting and Meez was entertaining but I felt that FD Toys had more interesting things to choose from and was the easiest to use. The customize comic strip site could be useful too.

Week #4 Finding Feeds

This was a very interesting assignment. I found it easiest to find feeds on the blog lines 'search for feeds'. I did find some on feedster as well but I did not care for the others. I am sure with more investigation I could appreciate what these sites had to offer but they took too much time for my interest. I will return to these from time to time to investigate them more. I found I could find a site I wanted then copy the URL into blog lines and if a feed was available it would add it.
