Thing 23

I am done!! I finished. I completed the survey, and contacted my multitype.

This was so fun. I really enjoyed trying new things and finding things on the web that I didn't know existed. I also liked learning how to make these myself and am looking forward to trying out some of my ideas at work and in my personal life.

Thank you to those that created this project and who did all the work collecting the information and the ideas! This has been a great learning experience.

Thing 22

Ok so hears the goal. I am going to add a task to my list and once a week return to 23 things and try something new, or work with something I learned while I did this.

Since the start of 23 things I have incorporated several tools into my daily life. The google homepage. Flickr. and others.

What did I learn today?
Everyday I need to learn something, this is and has been a great tool! I am planning on going toward a library science degree, and these are just a few ways that I can hopefully enhance my future library!

Thing 21

A good friend of mine has been doing goodreads for along time. He has over 900 entries of good books, and he has been trying to get me to start my page too. So now finally I did! It should be fun to see what others are reading and get reviews of good books, though I never seem to run out of good reads. This particular friend likes a lot of the books that I like though and he is someone that inspires discussion, so I will enjoy reading his reviews.

I really like the webjunction too. I just signed up, so I am still exploring, but online classes. These are neat, and kind of go along with what we are trying to do here. Learn more about what we do! I also like that there are discussion boards with people that are in the business, and how you can get ideas for programming by reading what others are doing.

We have been using project playlist a little at work. Everyone is slowly getting a theme song, and it is really fun when someone comes in and randomly hears their song. My favorite is randomly I will play "darth vaders theme" for one of our pages. He always smiles and starts laughing.

There were a few other social media sites that I think will be very fun to try. I need to make sure I don't overload though. I could definately spend hours on the internet!

Thing 12

Ok, so I found this interesting, but not really something I could get into.

I signed up for Mixx and looked at some of the articles. I liked the article about
"Hybrids Not Shaped Like Deformed Weiners." I also looked at some of the NYTimes articles. It was interesting to see what was new. I think I would rather go to a trusted site first, and then see the top news.

One way this would be fun is I have a lot of friends who find an interesting article and email it to everyone. We could "Share" the articles with this.

I don't know if this would increase or decrease my productivity. I think that giving our patrons access to news doesn't necessarily have to happen through a social media site. It is fun to share, but I don't see these becoming part of my daily routine.

Maybe I need to spend more time understanding what they do, and I will look more into the additional options.
