PBWiki

Libraries are using pbwiki to create intranet, public websites and to create special events. They even have a full time librarian to help answer your library related questions. So....instead of taking months to create a website, if you know what you want and how to do it, you can create a collaborative website in about "60 seconds". This will not only save time, but $$$$$.

Web 2.0

I read about Web 2.0 and how the libraries will use this technology for blogs and photo sharing for online communications, with our customers.

Delicious.com

Tried Delicious.com today and was able to bookmark all of my favorite sites. After I figure out how this site works, I enjoyed the ease in which everything is located in one spot for me.

Twitter

I signed up for twitter.com and posted my first tweet. Fun. I don't think that I will be a person to use this very much. But we will see.

Library Blogs

Just crusing the different library blog sites and came across the one "up North". The Ann Arbor District Library. They offer a link called Brainfuse. This is an online," live tutor" to help with homework. I thought this was pretty cool.

To Buy a Cell Phone or pass

Don't really want a cell phone.....but I see they can come in handy. I just don't want the phone to own me. The phone rings at home and I need to check the messages right away. Don't want the cell phone attached to my ear. Another thing, who can see those little numbers? Or, am I just afraid of the technology?
