Thing 17 - Explore social networking

MySpace
I searched on "chisholm institute library" australia and found no hits ... very surprising!
I did like the easy search interface eg. Google, Videos, Music, & MySpace.
Very few libraris have a presence here, and those that do have statements pointing out that they take no responsiblity for any comments made on this site. This is more an individuals site that friends and collegues have access to and leave messages. You would need lots of spare time to hang around here, time I don't have!

Facebook
I seached for "Chisholm Institute Library" in Facebook and only found me!
Searched for " library" and discovered UCD Library Catalogue Search site which allowed you to insert a link Catalogue link into your own FaceBook page. I also discovered lots of silly time wasting sites like "Would You Have Sex In the Library?" & degrading sites like "Monash Library is a joke" overall you would have to have plenty of spare time to be pottering around in Facebook, it didn't do alot for me ...

Thing 16 - Investigate YouTube

The Fiji Experience

YouTube would be my favourite site...
What I really like is browsing for a song I like then playing all the different versions of the song and by different artist very enjoyable and relaxing.
I wonder if we could convert our online video tutorial and place them onto YouTube then links on our web pages?

Only a thought...

Thing 14 - Tame technorati

Technorati is an interesting site, but is really useful for the serious blogger.

The site is set out well with lots of nice bells and whistles.

I doubt I would use this site in the future

Very handy tool to have when needing your bookmarks at home, work and other sites.

Creating RSS Feeds is the biggest plus for this tool.
