VISTA NEW WALLPAPER WINDOWS DESKTOP SKY LIGHT

Originally uploaded by SaMedia

Web 2.0 opened a whole new window for me! Now I am much more confident about using web and give customer suggestions. Thank you for doing that!

Ebooks

netlibrary, http://www.ebooks.com/, Amazon and Project Gutenburg are useful website for people who like ebooks. There are a lot of free books on there. People can view books online or download into their own computer to read them. We also can transfer ebooks into our portable PC or cellphone, so we can read them any time we want without carrying heave books. Searched my favourite author --- Jane Austen and it gave me a good result. However, when I searched my favourite book --- Gone with the wind, I couldn't fine it.

Podcasts

Took a look at Podcast.com about book reviews. And added two RSS into my Bloglines account:

• The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/
• The Book Show http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bookshow/

If there is any customer ask me about book reviews in the future, I will definitely tell them about these websites!

YouTube

I was a little bit lost when I tried to blog a YouTube video. So, I used the "help" button, by searching "Working with Blogs"! Then, I found the way... It was very easy after I learned it!

YouTube really have a lot of good videos and also not worth watching staff too. I like monkey, so I want to share this one with everyone. Please enjoy it!

"Any features or components of the site that might be applied to library websites?" Maybe we can make a video about the procedures of joining in library.

Web 2.0 Tools

Explored Web 2.0 Awards. There are so many options to choose. I am interested in travelling, so I made some searches by using Farecast ( the 1st place under travelling), I got the most updated flight and hotel information. It is very convenience!

Online productivity tools

The online tools are so convenience! It avoids the format difference between computers, and let user find and edit their documents without any physical saving tools.

Week 7 (step 17): Social networking

this is social networking?

Originally uploaded by skampy

I am very familiar with the Social network, I always use MSN to communicate with my friends and family back at home country. It really saved a lot of money and people actually can see each other!

Signed up for bebo and facebook and took a look at Auckland City Library's bebo. It is a cool site, will take me the whole afternoon to look at it. I am going to spend more time to read those some other time.

Library 2.0!

"Library 2.0 is a term used to describe a new set of concepts for developing and delivering library services."
I took a look at Into a new world of librarianship by Michael Stephens, and I was inspired by his point ---"the Library is human"! It made everything alive! We have to learning more and think more to be into the future revolution in the library.

Technorati Tour

A keyword search for “Learning 2.0” in Blog posts gives 23,816 results, in tags gives 2,201 results and in the Blog Directory gives 1,837 results. The results are very different!
Summer girl more likes searching by Blog Directory, it can narrow down the search and save a lot of time.
Took a look about popular blog, searches and tags. I found some interesting result. Reading and enjoying...

Bookmarking tool!

Gumnut Baby bookmark front and reverse

It is good to know "Del.icio.us" --- a popular social bookmarking site. And it is interesting to know other users' comments they added about a bookmark! one........more useful site besides Flickr and LibraryThing. Happy... :)

Sandbox fun!

I took a look at Manukau Libraries Wiki and added my note into the Favourite Movies. I found it was easy to do! So far so good... : )

What is a Wiki?

"A wiki is a collaborative website and authoring tool that allows users to easily add, remove and edit content. It allows a group of people to collaboratively develop a Web site with no knowledge of HTML or other markup languages"! Some organizations and institutes has created a great online communication by using wiki, such asBook Lovers Wiki, University of Calgary Wiki and Library Success.

Book Lovers Wiki is one of my favourite site, I can found a lot of useful and interesting information from there. I guess it will take a lot of time for the organization to make all posts and information in order.

Amazing New Technology!

Digital cameras are my favourite new technology product. It can record every moment (good or bad) in our life.

Flickr Fun ! ?

mashups, Flickr Color Pickr, Montagr, Tagnautica, mashups, web apps and Flickr tools... Summer Girl really got a headache! Just took a look about "Flickr Color Pickr" and "Tagnautica"(Montagr took a long time to open, so I gave up), and Summer Girl found that she liked the first better. She can search her favourite pink photos from there!
