#27 Thing Twitter

#27 Thing: I watched the YouTube videos and read several of the overviews including the one directed towards librarians. That overview pretty much said if you don't like micro-blogging, do not do it. Well, I really hate it. I never really wanted to join Facebook but I did it for training purposes. I think it is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen and is mostly a waste of time.

I suppose Twitter could be used to make brief announcements about library news and activities.

Thing 26 Join the 23 Things Ning

#26: I joined Ning after Round 2. No, I did not join any other groups. So far, our library system has not widely used Ning. Our libraries primarily use email. Facebook seems to winning the race regarding the personal social networking.

I did post a comment and viewed the video titled Kirk Should Have Been a Librarian.

#25 Thing. Bloggers' Toolkit

#25 Thing: First of all, I watched all the tutorials. If I had any interest in the blogging world, I could see how the widgets would really spruce up a blog. I added Google's news gadget to my blog. I did not experiment with any of the other widgets because I am not personally interested in the blogging world. Also, I cannot believe that the library system would allow me to blog on behalf of my library. I only spent an hour with this "thing."

Thing 24 Refresh Your Blog

#24 Thing: I have not blogged since I completed the 23 Things. Frankly, my spare time is taken with exercise and crocheting. I have no desire to spend a lot of time on the internet.

I made small changes to my profile.
