Week 6 Del.icio.us

This week I created a Delicious account for myself. I found Delicious very useful since I worked as a part time Library Assistant and I didn't have my own computer in work place. Now all I needed to do was logging on my Delicious account on any available computer and I would have my bookmarks! Also I thought this website would be a great way to share information between libraries. Imaging if ACL had one account and all the valuable bookmarks were there, wouldn't that be convenient?

Week5 Rollyo

This week I also tried to use Rollyo, but a message came up saying Rollyo was undergoing some maintenance. I didn't want to stuck here, so I would carry on my Week 6 and try it later on.
Tried Rollyo again on Mar. 5, now it worked. I created an account for myself and created a search roll for "Favourite Kids Books". Then I followed the instruction from #12 and added searchroll to my blog, also added my LT Search Box and a display of my LT books to the side of my blog. My blog looked much better now (I think). For Rollyo, I wouldn't use it much because I preferred Delicious.

Week 5 LibraryThing

This week I explored LibraryThing and created my own LibraryThing account. This website was cool. I could use it to record my readings, like what I had read, what I wanted to read in the future, etc. Also this website provided a great platform for book lovers to interact with each other. I would highly recommend this website to my friends who couldn't live without books.

Week 4 RSS

I setup my googlereader, but for some reason I could only get to "logging in" page instead of my account. So now I setup a bloglines account and it seemed working. Hooray!

week4 part B

I also setup my Twitter account this week. I followed CNN breaking news (I guess there was no point to follow news since the newsreader could do the same) , penguinbooks and Jennifer Aniston who was my favorite actress. I wouldn't follow anybody myself because I thought it was a waste of time, but probably it was useful to some people if they wanted to keep up with their very closed friends or family.

Week 4 part A

This week I setup my googlereader on Gmail and subscribed a few RSS feeds. Most of them are from library website. I subscribed "new titles" by clicking RSS icon then adding to subscription on my reader, they were working fine. When I searched a certain author's books then tried to do the same thing, there was a message saying the search I entered didn't provide a feed but google reader could create a feed for me. Anyway, I thought RSS feeds were great ways to keep book lovers updated about our newly received books (I thought it would be awesome if customers could see not only the titles but the images as well) and I would definitely use it to save myself some time.

week 3 part B

Letter James was fun! I made a cake using Letter James the other day, then I made a link to my post, but when I tried to view it the second day, it was gone. I wasn't sure what happened. This time I made the cake and post on my blog, so it wouldn't disappear again.

Here is the picture

week 3 part A

This week was a busy week! I explored Flickr, found this little cute thing. It reminded me of my primary school friend's kitten, we had a lot fun with him back then.
I found this bookworm trading card from librarian trading card. I downloaded a baby reading photo from internet then made the baby reading trading card using trading card maker.
On Picnik, I picked a photo from the library, then added a text and a frame. The daisy frame looked lovely but it wasn't free. Here is my photo.

week 2

I visited Bebo, Facebook, Myspace and LinkedIn. Found a lot of people I know on Facebook. Surprise! Tried to find my high school friends from Facebook and Myspace, but no luck. Sad! To be honest, I am not comfortable to put my pictures online to share with thousands of others, at least not now. Am I too old-fashioned? Maybe.

This is the page I found on Bebo:

about week 1

This week I created a gmail account and a blogger account, played around. This learning program is fun but it took more time than I expected in my first week. It really surprised me that you could do so much on internet. I am sure I will be more helpful to our customers by the end of this program.
