Instant Messaging- Thing #7

I used to use instant messaging on AOL back when it first started, before text messaging became popular.  It was really nice then, but now it's just easier to text, since that doesn't require you logging on to a computer and having internet connection. I think what's even better than AOL or Yahoo instant messaging and texting is Skype, which allows people and businesses to make free videos and voice calls, send instant messages, and share files with other Skype users worldwide.

Digg- Thing #6

This website kind of reminds me of Google reader and the RSS feeds. There are different news categories you can pick from, ex. Entertainment. Then, the headlines for that category are displayed, and you can choose from numerous articles to read about.  For me, it's basically the same function as Google reader and the RSS feeds, but just a different name!

Twitter- Thing #5

Didn't really like Twitter. It's pretty useful for posting new updates and events, but I found that most postings were unimportant.  For example, I chose to follow a celebrity, but most of their postings were just plain boring.  I really don't care to know that they just finished working out at the gym and are headed for the showers...

Picture Sharing- Thing #4

Picture sharing could definitely help benefit the library by sharing pictures with the community of events that occur inside the library.  I signed up for a photobucket account, and I like it because I am able to share pictures with friends and family.  Here is one of my favorite funny pictures that a friend sent me:

RSS feeds- Thing #3

I like RSS feeds, you just add RSS feeds of topics you are interested in and the information is sent directly to you. Pretty cool!

Blog Reader- Thing #2

I really liked Google reader, it is a quick and easy way to find what you're looking for by just subscribing to what you are interested in.
