Technorati

Searching in Technorati I found that there were over 98,000 hits for Web 2.0 about 14,00 blogs 598 for the next one, getting quickly less and less. Found it difficult to locate Blog Directory, until shown that it was Blog Centre ?

Exercise # 8 Bookmarking

I can see hat this would be a good tool for use on the ref desk as was indicated by one of the sites I looked at.
I can understand the implications of the social side of it, sharing information and thus increasing information at a huge rate.

RSS Part 1

I found this very confusing and mind boggling. I an see that there would be uses for RSS within the library system, but I would have to use it often to feel at all confident in my ability or its usefulness.

#6 Save as ...send as

I found out how to change the type of attatchment and send to others who haven't got the same version of soft ware . As I was sending to a whole raft of people this was very satisfying!

#5 Photos on photos

I looked at Montagr and liked the way the photos had been put together as a background which also then deliniated a face. Very clever, way out of my league.... at the moment.

Flickr

I have looked at Flickr, with a lot of help from my friends!! and I can see that in the future it could be useful as a much safer way to collect and keep photos.I am not a keen photographer, but I do have old photos which I would be interested in storing in a safe place, like Flickr..

Exercise 2

I know how to find and create a new post, which I didn't before and I see that you can edit change and delete it. I understand what a blog is and I have created one and named it. I didn't have much luck with the help videos, perhaps I was impatient. Where are the tabs for selecting different colours on the template, or am I in the wrong bit at the moment? Guess I am. I am going to try #3 now.
