Thing #8 Cloud Computing

I think it is really a really good thing to be able to add to a document that several people are working on. It sure saves time and effort compared to sending attachments and waiting for people to send them back edited. You have to give permission for people to access it so there is some privacy so not every Tom Dick and Harry can see it or add to it.

I managed to see the document I was supposed to add to but owing to my email address being @fullerton.edu it would not let me add my comments to it. I guess Cloud Computing will become more common but I can see there are still bugs they have to fix as in my case.

Delicious Thing #7

I downloaded Delicious and added the sites, and tagged the ones I use quite often. I think it is a good, quick way to gain access to them and share, if you want, with others.
The link below is to my social bookmarking.

This is definitely good for librarians and teachers so they can have the links in Delicious for very quick access and tagging makes it even easier to find what you are looking for. Students will also find this useful. This is very good for work but I would not like to use it otherwise.

My computer screen is getting smaller and smaller with all the toolbars I have been downloading for this WEB 2.0 project.

Pollak Library #4 of 10 Things

I found it interesting to be able to post photos on Flikr and I did not know the Library had its own Flikr site. The only thing I don't like is having to join all these different sites to use their products. I have had to create several new accounts and I am only at Thing # 4. I guess that is what you have to do to be part of WEB 2.0

Flikr does not make it easy to post the pictures in a different blog from Yahoos. I had to have my students show me how to do it. Now I know how to do it. I am enjoying these "10 Things" as I am learning how to use these products.

Pollak Library #2 of 10 Things

Well this is my very first entry in my Pollak Library 10 Things blog.

My initial thoughts about Library 2.0 technology is that the first of the 10 things was a little confusing at first. This #2 Thing is more straight forward and understandable.

Thats it for now.
