Experience in Technorati

I am confused about keyword searching Learning 2.0 in tags and in blog directory, although I managed to read so many blogposts about learning 2.0. I also had great fun wondering around and exploring popular blog, searches and tags. I find tons of blogs on learning 2.0 and realize that so many people are in the same boat as I am, such as "anxiety over the frustraing excitement of learning new things". In her video, Helene mentions the purpose of learning 2.0 is for us to learn new tools to serve the customers better, because the tranditional ways of providing public service is just not enough any more. That is the reason I am still trying to finish the tasks. I do say I am inspired by other peoples blogs and thoughts and I have to move forward, not to be left behind.

Learning about tagging

http://del.icio.us/ (a social bookmarking)appears to be most useful tool so far. However, when I first log in the website before going through resources, I was completely lost. Going back to the resource, I found that the short video from Otter group is easy to understand and follow; while Us.ef.ul. A beginners guide to Del.icio.us is so confusing. The article at http://krl2pt0,%20while%20wordpress.com/2007/09/23/setting-up-a-delicious-account/ is actually what I can follow to sign up my account, install buttons...
In QLL2.0 account, I was able to read some blogs posted by other participants. "Stream of Consciousness 23-1/2 things" says just what I am thinking. Of course, I posted my comments...
I plan to use del.icio.us in the future to help organize my searches on various topics.

Rollyo

Rollyo exercise does not appear to be difficult, however, finding time to complete this simple task is not that easy. I follow the steps: create a acount first and start a searchroll. I think I have to find other time to really benefit from using Rollyo... here is my link to Julia"s Rollyo: http://rollyo.com/editroll.html?sid=334881

LibraryThing

So far, I have to say that Libraything is the easiest task since I started queenslibrarylearning 2.0. The fun part is that after I created my catalog, I was directly linked to the people who read the same books and some of the reviews are also interesting to browse through. I think this is one of the sites I will continue to use from now on. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/jhua

Bloglines

After signing up an account at www.bloglines.com, I started to subscribe different feeds that interest me, including BBC News and National Weather Channel that I regularly use. Going through some of the most popular feeds also became a good experience. “The Shifted Librarian” immediately drew my attention. The articles about gaming in public library are just what I am interested in reading. And I realized that I can share the following with my co-workers: “At last month’s Internet Librarian conference, we learned that among other services for seniors, the Old Bridge Public Library in New Jersey was planning to hold a Wii tournament for older adults. Why on earth would a library do this?” Computer games have become more and more popular among seniors for obvious reasons. Why don’t we try it at QBPL?

Thoughts on Technology

Years ago when I was in library school, I remember my professor once said in class "Information means power!", "People who hold information are the most powerful". Twenty years later, the fact is TECHNOLOGY MEANS POWER! Nothing has been developed more rapidly than technology specially in the past decade. All 23 1/2 things in Learning 2.0 have been developed in recent years and all have played an more and more important part in everybody's life. I am glad I have the opportunity of participating in this project and I know I will go through with it no matter how time comsuming it is for me.
