Social Networks

These are so popular with the young. I think I need to use one for a while. I joined Facebook, but this was not very successful. I could not find friends (or anyone) in my area. So I joined MySpace. Music started playing. Slide shows of strange people. (It's a foreign land)

Thought I would search for old school friends on MySpace, no luck yet.

On-Line Tools and Applications

This weeks lesson was great! I was unaware of these tools and will certainly make use of them now.

Mashups

Mashups....The Webs getting very personalised and interesting.

Here's a photo of the woodwork that had to be done on our car. No plans available for a 1930 car. My husband's very clever, but I did all the research of course!

Podcasts

Podcasts...Ahhhhhh....Completed Podcasts exercise, however, my computer is not fast enough. I managed to listen to the WMA podcasts but the others, (MP3 & MP4) were taking too long, very frustrating. I want a new computer!

Answer Boards

Answer Boards...Great!....I have not used the answer boards very much in the past. However, now I am a convert. They should be part of the library service.

Here's a photo from our Chrysler collection. It is a photo of the ornamental radiator cap (the chrysler wings), made in 1930, now a collectors item.

Del.icio.us

Delicious....Have to learn this, everyones talking about it.....Opened a Del.icio.us account. I thought I would have a go at "daily blog posting". As instructed I went to settings, then daily blogs posting, and tried to perform the "experimental feature". Thought I set it up OK. However, when I checked my blog, nothing. Spent a lot of time trying to get it to work. Next day checked my Del.icio.us site, where I had a message that this function was prohibited. Guess I'll stick with the basics and get them under my belt instead.

Video On-Line

Checked out You-Tube and Google Video. Lots of Fun.
Had to upload this video considering my Vintage Car theme.
