I joined Facebook long time ago but not using it. I can see the convinience Facebook gives to connect with huge audience around the World.
I subscribed to the New York public library and follow them, they send me an ivitations to join them for very interesting events, which I am not able to attend… for the good reason…
Gennady is waiting for me to learn how to create a blog to show his painting to the world…
This clip have been seen by 6 mln people!!!
I had difficulties with inserting a video to WordPress, the instructions did not work, at the end I managed to do this by inserting it into the body of my post, changing the view from Visual to HTML and pasted the “embeded” link.
By doing this I am ticking off the Thing No. 15!
I joined delicious and spent some time experimenting. It’s useful, I added some bookmarks, including my bookmarks for 23 Things.
I used “share” at the ABC news website to add a bookmark for an article about Google.
I have copied and saved URL for the ACU library blog.
This all I have done using Internet Explorer and Firefox. I tried to save my bookmarks, imported them from Internet Explorer to Firefox but cannot see them now. Will solve this problem later…I was able to save a new bookmark for my Google Document.
I tagged all my bookmarks, but have to go back and add more tags and organise it. At the end I added Kate to Network!!! I feel that I need more time to organise my delicious, but find it very useful. At this point I will tick Thing 11 – social book-making thing as completed.

I attended Pelican Feeding with my friend when I visited The Entrance last year. The irony for us was that dead fish were flying while pelicans were grounded and waiting for fish to land.
I uploaded pictures to Flickr and, ironically, they pictured fish too, carps – pests of Centennial Park you can see them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/deribasa1/4455900702/.
I had difficulties to join Flickr, may be because I am not a Yahoo fan, I had to join Yahoo first.
However, I can see huge potential for the use of Flickr, including easily created presentations, when I explore it more, it is possible, I will have more ideas.
I looked at all three. I found Booktagger slow and a little clunky, but I like the blog, especially the outfit called The naughty librarian costume from Target. I noticed that the Booktagger website is not well developed. The Discussion page shows all activities by all users which might be a privacy concern or too much information.
I joined LibraryThing a long time ago, but haven’t used it much, since 2007 it did not changed from my point on view. I was pleasantly surprised that books I have added 2 years ago were still there and number of people who have the same books has increased.
Then I signed in to Google Books, went to My library and found some books and added them to my shelf. The idea of saving a list of books read, be able to find them online, read part of them is a good, in my point of view, for reader/ librarian in making a decision before purchase.
If I have more time, I would like to return to Google Books for further explorations.
I checked the Google Books Library Partner page to see what libraries do with Google Books; they create their digital collections and open it to the World. I visited University of Wisconsin – Madison Google Digitization Initiative, and checked http://www.news.wisc.edu/newsphotos/libraryGoogle.html. Image of Vacuum Milker (U.S. Patent, 1868) caught my attention. The 2 questions I would like have an answer for – about copyright and how expensive these projects could be for universities.
RSS was easy to find and subscribe. Great feature for following sites.
I found Twitter very easy to use and easy to follow people and organisations. From my point of view it is too much information from so many places, I feel a little bit lost. I don’t see how it will be good for the library…
I like Google documents. It is easy to use, good for editing documents for groups of people. There is a danger of losing the document unless you make a backup yourself.
