Thing 7

Now I've finally got a new PC and managed to upload and upgrade everything on it, I will make a daily check on Tweets and interact where possible. Has been rather sporadic so far. I personally find it frustrating sometimes but the more I persevere with it, the more I hope to maximise the use I can get out of it. I think facebook is the same; with growth there is more that is interesting and useful.

Thing 6

igoogle calendar - probably more useful to me if working in a larger library with a cohort of others. At the moment, prefer something more portable, at moment using normal diary. Probably use it when get ipad - it's not as helpful on a PC.

Thing 5

Didn't get Doodle when I tried it a month ago. Probably a bit late to try it again now.

Thing 1 revisited

igoogle page. Just more experimenting with the GIMP.

Thing 4

Just experimenting with Thing 4. Picture of my beloved Brig in Switzerland where I lived and worked for a couple of years including the mountain I climbed (from the other side - it's easier!)

Thing 3

Keeping an open mind about blogging though not keen at the moment on expressing myself in this way. Have read encouraging Cam23 links to converts so will see how things go.

Thing 2

Using RSS feeds at the moment in our library to promote new books; potential to expand on this as a useful way of communication. Have linked some RSS feeds to igoogle and will be doing more over summer. Potential to make igoogle useful if invest enough time adapting it to needs and interests.

Thing 1

Yes, I've set up igoogle and customised it with news feeds, twitter, Cam23. Need to spend more time tailoring it to my needs/interests, and exploring its' potential - still tend to go for my bookmarks and searching for things. I find it a bit restrictive and time consuming to set up when there is so much I get out of the Internet. Also potentially a bit too distractivefor me in the morning to have as a homepage.
