The power to believe

Now you're talking. This was a site I think could be very useful, it's very user friendly.Really enjoyed searching through the webfetti and jigsaw sites. Discovered Myth-weavers, a dungeons and dragons style site, if anyone is interested in these.Look forward in future to going back to comic strip and learning more.

Exercise# 12

At my first attempt into the world of SandBox it was a mild distraction to discover I could not access the NSL Learning Wetpaint wiki.. So on down the list, where I found the wetpaint demonstration very helpful in understanding where I was.
What a gret way of sharing information.

Exercise #11

My first wiki site was the Princeton Public Library and Oh heaven..a book lovers wiki, very well set out, interesting to see they also had a book lovers summer reading club, along with the library newsletter. They're library lounge blog was most interesting.
After looking at a few of the other sites listed: such as the library success, was most impressed by there community info and guides.I could see a site setup with walks and places of interest for visitors.

Exercise #10

There you can see an exciting future ahead. The interaction, not only between libraries throughout New Zealand, but also the world, at the click of the mouse.
Visiting the Santa Monica Library site, I found it very user friendly with the ability to download audio books to your PC or MP3 player.
So many ideas we can incorporate into our system.

Exercise: 9

Just having completed Technorati and realised that the postings are so quickly updated. For instance: opposing views which could be useful for patrons questions.
The difference between the authority link and the popular link were interesting, I must explore these later.
The site looked very American at first glance so decided to investigate anything about the New Zealands political situation and discovered information on Winston Peters that had been posted 30 minutes before.. yes!!!

Exercise: 7

At the time of exploring the different RSS feeds I think I would definitely go back to the news site Topix.net, and maybe find some others along those lines.Too long winded to take the time when at the reference desk etc.. So many things to explore, so little time!

Exercise: 8 and Delicious

Now this is a really interesting site. Discovered FeedBurner, another Google help centre, where through subscription you can have regular updates delivered through whichever portal you desire.Then I found pingmag-for online shopping in Japan and oh so much more. I wandered off on various sites, such as the exhibition of 100 Postcards in Tokyo.Thought the design and building of a Japanese garden may be very useful for patrons when these enquiries are made.Even had a look at Wikipedia Delicious website, simply to discover the history.Have to go to bed or I would certainly be exploring alot longer.
