#17 Playing around with PBwiki

okay i tried like a million times (okay maybe 3 times) to add my blog to the favourites blog on the PBwiki Learning 2.0 wiki but i couldn't, because some delightful person was editing the page and only one person at a time can do that and they wouldn't get off. bugger.

anyway i will try again later.

#16 So what's in a wiki?

okay ive been to the wikipedia site before and thought it was really good, then i found out that any one can add change or edit anything on the site. before a few weeks ago i didn't even know what a wiki was (until i googled it) but they are amazing little specimens of technology-hood.
i realise that isn't even a word but whoop di do basil don't care.

so basically what i'm trying to say is that wikis rock, fabulous, wonderful, off the hizzy.
whatever

okay i'm going now.

#15 On Library 2.0 and Web 2.0

i think libraries are fairly good with keeping up with changes in technology and client demands and there probably will be a times when patrons will prefer an e-book rather thana hold- in- you hand -smell -the- ink on the pages book. there are many more technologies that libraries are using for better clients services such as the internet, and there are so many sites that are being introduced to all of us on this learning 2.0 that no doubt we could teach out patrons how to use them if they don't already know.
with all the technology out there you can't beat a good old fashioned book.

well i think i've rambled on enough time for the next activity.

Technorati

#14 Getting not-so-technical with Technorati

okay technorati is another site that i have never heard of before but looks pretty interesting and there are so many blogs. using a keyword search you get a lot more hits than you do when you search tags, which must be a much more refined search. but it is interesting all the same. its a lot of fun finding out about new things and getting to have a look at them and use them.

#13 Tagging, folksomies and Social bookmarking in Del.icio.us

okay another thing i've never heard of before is Del.icio.us but it looks and sounds pretty interesting and i think i'm gonna have to create my own account to give a little order to my bookmarks. it looks like a very easy way to access bookmark and it probably does have the potential to help with research, it would certainly make getting to certain pages much easier.

#12 Roll your own search engine with Rollyo

firstly i have never heard of rollyo before but it is really quite interesting and it makes searching the sites you regularly visit so much easier.
i created my own search roll that is down the bottom of my blog.
i think there is great potential for tool like rollyo and a lot of people seem to use it.

#11 All about LibraryThing

omg! librarything is fantastic i think i got a little carried away and added a whole lot of books that i've read or that i personally own. library thing is so easy to use i love it. all you need is a username and password and then you can go forth and add book to your library till your hearts content.

#10 Play around with image generators

okay i had so much fun doing this weeks activity, image generators are fantastic.

here is what i came up with hope whoever looks at my blog gets a kick out of it.

also here is the link to get to the image generator site:

#8 make life "really simple" with RSS and newsreader

okay i think i have completed week four activity and i have to admit i think i have a technology crush on this bloglines thing. it is amazing, i can subscribe to whatever feed i like and once you get the hang of it, it is really simple to use. i always wondered what rss was and what that little orange box was for. now i know. i'm learning stuff. yay me.

okay now i think i have the next part done as well providing the url or whatever to my public bloglines. lets see if i'm clever.

# 7 blogging about technology

Okay i may be a little behind on this but anyway, i have decided to blog about mobile phones well mine in particular. i have a new phone called a hiptop3 i've had for a littel while and i'm still getting used to it. but i think it is great my dad hates it he thinks its stupid but anyway.
its not like alot of the mobiles on the market these days you the ones that are like about a 5 cm or whatever -(like the phone on zoolander) its like a brick compared to those phones anyway the screen swivels out and it has a qwerty keyboard so its like a mini computer that i can check my email on, use is as a mp3 player and it does all the regular functions like calls and texting and stuff when i actually figured out how to make calls that is. so i really can't live without my phone.
okay i think i've waffled on long enough.

#6 more flickr fun

Okay hopefully today I am more successful at doing this post than I was yesterday.

I had never even heard of mashups before starting this Learning 2.0 so I'm learning alot of new things which is great. I found a mashup thingy called Amazon Zuggest which is mix between Google suggest and Amazon and whats really cool about it is that it searches for what you want as you are typing. Now that is awesome.
