#15 RSS & #16 Subscribing

 

In the past, I've only searched for specific information on the web when its needed, so I should mention that I don't have a favourite list of websites that I check on often enough to see updates.  After reading about what RSS really is,  it's good to know that I can subscribe through Google Reader, a list of my favorite topics and the updates will pretty much come to me everytime I open my account. I soon discovered that this would save me so much time, every time I use the net.  It allows me to compile all of my favourite websites, including Blogger!  Because I work in the Library and I'm involved in the marketing side of things, I can challenge myself by looking at how other  Libraries are uniquely creative...so I'm definately  looking forward to using this tool more often!

#13 My Space & #14 Facebook

To me, Myspace and Facebook have truly become the preferential mediums for keeping in touch with your friends. As these social networking websites have developed, the general populus has shifted from being primarily Myspace users, to a predominantly Facebook crowd.  In my case, being part of an older generation, I have contemplated the idea of creating a Facebook account with the purpose of keeping in touch with family and friends whilst travelling. I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm going to do my best to not make it into an obsession like millions of users around the globe have managed to do! Because of this recent task to create both a Myspace and Facebook page, the endless contemplation became a reality. After assessing the advantages and drawbacks of each site, I have decided that Facebook is more effective in communication with friends. This is for a number of reasons, primarily because of its instant messaging capabilities, and the ability to find friends who I've been wanting to track down for years. Aside from the interaction with friends, Myspace has proven to be much more effective in searching music and artist pages. This helped me find out when my favourite singers are making their next Australian tour!

#12 Flickr

I have uploaded a very few photos as a test to my own Flickr account.
It doesn't seem to be complicated.
The photos displayed in my photostream are based on my garden.

I must say it was quite an experience....time consuming to say the least! It did test my patience, but it was pretty fun now that I think of it , so don't give up! This was created in comicstripgenerator
