Thing 18

This was the best '23 Things' exercise in a long time - finally something I can see using on an ongoing basis. The ability for a group of people, who are rarely together in the same room, to be able to edit a document and see what these changes are is great - go Zoho!

Thing 17

The PBwiki thing was fun - sometimes (when there's time to kill) it's amusing to see what other people take the time to post. How about 'Favorite Ways To Spend A Summer Day"?

I'd start my list with going to the beach on a sunny day, weeding early in the morning and hearing the ping of weeds and rocks being tossed into the bucket, a glass of cold lemonade, no traffic in town 'cause school is out, two cold showers a day, fireflies, ice cream sandwiches on the front porch, being the only house in the development with the windows open, FANS.

Thing 16

It was very interesting to see the wide variety of subjects that other libraries cover in their wikis and blogs. Maybe LCPL should have a blog on our website, open to the entire community, all about the renovation and expansion of Rust. How useful it might be to see this project through the eyes of our patrons!

Thing 15

This entire '23 Things' has been a great introduction and source of information on Web 2.0. In his article Into a New World of Librianship, Michael Stephens says that librarian 2.o 'allows staff time to play and learn'. The '23 Things' is certainly doing that.

Thing 14

I will admit to being a closet American Idol watcher. So searching Technorati for blogs on American Idol was interesting to say the least - fun for about five minutes and then way too much information/opinion. You could follow tags forever and end up very far awy from where you started.

Thing 13

Del.icio.us, while an interesting concept, is not for me - I am just not interested in tagging away my life. I am even less interested in reading other people's tags as they wind their way to who knows where.

Generator Fun!
