Technorati

This was an interesting site with a lot of information and pictures on a variety of subjects. I found one site that showed a robot doing housework (I need one) and a pitcher pouring liquid into a glass. These scenes were animated and fun. I was able to tag this and a few other sites that interested me. I am beginning to see there is a lot of information and a variety of ways to get this information on the web sites.

Tagging and Del.icio.us

This is great to have a social bookmarking site on my toolbar. This was pretty easy and fun to do.

Library related-blogs

I found several interesting sites and a few libraries that had their own library blog such as Redwood City Public Library in Redwood, CA , University of Baltimore Law Library, Baltimore, MD, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC. just to name a few. I enjoyed reading Blogging 101. This site was very useful.

Rollyo: Roll Your Own Search Engine

Rollyo: Roll Your Own Search Engine

This was a little more difficult but I figured it out. Having my very own search engine on my toolbar can be quite an advantage. You can get what you need quicker.

LibraryThing | Catalog your books online

LibraryThing Catalog your books online
This was another fun exercise. I loved creating my "Library" of my favorite books. It is also useful in cataloging new books we have to process.

Online image generator

Chocolate This was a lot of fun to play around with. I chose Chocolate because I love it so much.

RSS Feeds

I found this exercise the most difficult to figure out. Once I did I think it will be a useful tool especially setting up your own newsreader account to keep you informed of your favorite subjects and news.
