Thing #23

YES, YES, YES!!!!! I have made it to the end. I almost quit twice. I sure want a chance at winning the Wii. However, I do not have luck at winning.
My favorite Thing I learned and will continue to use is Librarything, I just bought a notebook and entered all my authors and books read, then the challenge came up and introduced me to this wonderful website.
My least favorite site would be ListenNJ, I do not care to listen to a book being read to me, I prefer to sit and read while looking at something. I have and still will recommend this site to our customers.
I definitely think Google docs would be something we at the Library should use. Maybe even those of us who put together the Branch Brochure information, rather than E-mail back and forth.
I have shared several sites with a few people. Odeo is great for music, especially when we get our MP3 players. Google docs I let my husband know about that site, he seemed interested.
Another great site is WorldCat, I've visited it, found a few things I would eventually like to order, but for now summer is coming too much is going on. I will wait till winter and ILL some of the older DVDs that OCL does not have. (We might purchase them before I need to put in a request).
As far as Web 3.0......I will definitely consider the challenge. It just seems certain times of the month are more difficult to find the spare time to complete the "Things". I know some of our part-timers have said it truly is very difficult to find time while they are here at work to take the Web 2.0 challenge.
See you at S.D.D.!!!

Thing #21

I set up an account with ODEO, I should have been able to post a blog from the pod cast on the site. Google wouldn't allow me, it told me to try again later. So I will attemp to finish #21 this way. I figured when I recieve my MP3 player from the "Challenge" I will be able to download songs from this site. I chose the Jonas Brothers, I will be going to their concert in August. Thanks to my daughter, I do enjoy some of their songs. The Jonas Brothers- Year 3000

Thing #22

While I am waiting, I can't listen to the book I selected unless I use the public earphones. (I will not do this). I had no problem figuring out how to get into the ListenNJ website, select a book, download and book. The only problem is it does take a long time to download all of the parts. Next time, if there is one, I will pick a shorter book. I wasn't too sure if there is a way to see how many "parts" there are to download before I choose a book. I did figure out how to begin listening to Part One while the other parts are downloading, however as I already mentioned, I will not use the public earphones and its too loud to listen to with other people around.

P.S. The computer just warned me I am running out of temporary space for the book I am currently downloading. This is a problem.

Thing #20

I visited the YouTube website. I had been there before once of twice. Definitely always something you can find to view there. After my third subject try, I found something interesting. It was about dogs. This is it Funny Dogs 6.

Thing #19

I was about to give up on the whole challenge. However, I stumbled through the last few, this one was much easier. It did not take me that long to look over all of the 2.0 winners.
I will definitely recommend this site to someone I know. I thought Pandora lookd like an interesting site, I like music. I would have to check it out and find out more details. Are all the serviced listed on the 2.0 winners free? Since I do like cocktails, I most definitely will visit cocktail builder. I did not care for the site imbee, I don't know if that is such a great site for under 18 for meeting over the internet like this.
