This one took me a while…the computers at work were really slow so I had to do it at home. This is one of my favorite pictures and I thought it would make a really cool puzzle. I finally figured this out…I am really happy with the way the image turned out. This is link to the program that I used: http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/jigsaw.php
A lot of people like myself really seem to like Harry Potter! While exploring this page I looked at the book section and found so many books that are my top favorites on the list. I agreed with a lot of the comments and disagreed with a lot too. That is what is fun about this kind of site, we can post what we think and let people agree or not agree. Also, it is a great way to get new ideas for movies or books.
I looked at a few of the wikis on the list. My favorite was the Bull Run Library wiki. I searched for the book, The Other Boleyn girl and easily found it on the site. A cover came up and also subject headings about the book. Also, reviews about the book can easily be added, all within the same page. It was very easy to navigate. I did the same search on Book Lovers Wiki and the results weren’t as good. The book was not found on the page; I went back to the home page and clicked on a few subject headings, there are not many books on the site. When more reviews are added or commented on the site will be better but as of this moment I did not find it that useful.
Libraries are wonderful places to seek help and information, Library 2.0 is just the next step and wave of the future for libraries. Fast and accurate information is now found not in books but on the Internet. Depending on who needs the information and for what purpose it is much easier to go to a search engine and search a term than to go and look in a book. Library 2.0 is a wonderful way to share information and add to it. I am not saying that we should stop going to libraries and accessing the information within them, many times it is easier to find information online as start and then research the subject more deeply in other areas. Recently while working at the library I was surprised to find out that teachers required students to keep books on states in the classroom for over 9 weeks. I thought to myself that all the basic information carried in these books can easily be found from credible sources online and would be more up to date. Not everyone is ready for all of the information that can be found online or all the ways to comment and add to it but soon everyone will be using it.
Wow…there is a lot going on with this site. I could spend quite a while on here. While I was exploring I realized that the different categories are helpful and when you click on them they give you main topics. I particularly like that questions can be posted about particular topics and one can just easily reply with the answer or add another question to it. I found out some useful information about windows updates and outages. It is nice to find sites other than google and yahoo that have a lot of information that you need and that you can easily respond to.
I really don’t understand how this particular site is that useful. Unless you are really interested in another site and cared to see how many other people have added it, it doesn’t seem like it is something that a normal web user would need. It does save a bunch of sites that a particular group is interested in but for myself I don’t think it is something I would use on a regular basis.
I didn’t think that this exercise would be very helpful, however after making a Rollyo account and exploring it I realized that it is a useful too. I decided to make a fun search and chose the category as entertainment. I added a few sites that I like to go on for fun and later one I will find more to add. It was really neat when searching for a person because the links for the newest youtube video or gossip about that celebrity were easily found. It is going to be fun finding more sites to put in the account.
Librarything is such an easy website to use. This assignment has been one of my favorites. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to add the books. I could spend a lot more time adding titles but I just added a few that I have recently read. I do look forward to exploring the site more and other reviews. I would recommend this site to those who have a hard time remembering what they have read, so many patrons think that we keep a record for them, this site is easy for anyone to do!
