Slideshare.net

My slideshare account is: http://www.slideshare.net/pbirch

http://www.slideshare.net/sirexkat/what-is-library-20
For me, this is a wonderful PowerPoint.....Library 2.0

I'm fascinated by Slideshare. I did post a PowerPoint that I had made on PowerMedia Plus for a presentation. I get it that I can now access it through this tool, and don't need to be on the server where it was created....or carry a flash drive with me. I searched some other postings, and found a great one on choices we make about what we eat, how we live, etc. Located at:

The slideshow I uploaded is located at http://www.slideshare.net/pbirch/inservice-dec-2006-pp-presentation/

This is overwhelming to think all this is available with a click....amazing.

delicious.

delicious.com is another "thing" I've been meaning to look at, and never took time to explore.
I think it is pretty interesting, and definately a way to organize your favorites on the web.

In January I'll start teaching my collection management class, so I did a search on
the subject, and found four others who had "marked" some sites. I can see how this could be really useful. Plus, I get so many sites listed under Favorites, that I am going to try to organize the ones I have listed at this time. Good time to try it so I don't have too many marked on this computer at this time.

I looked at all the different tags people put on NebraskAccess. Certainly different tags were used than ones I would use, but that is to say, I need to broaden my scope and realize how others would tag a site.

It would be pretty cool to be able to access your bookmarks from any computer. That looks like another HUGE reason to try delicious.com. Here I go....I'm ready to give it a whirl.

twitter

The best thing about the "23 Things" is that it makes me look at all these different social networking programs I hear about all of the time.
I created my twitter account, but I can't imagine anyone wants to know what I'm doing most of the time. I did, however, read Dawn's blog about her twitter activities. Good job, Dawn.
And I looked at the NLC reference questions on twitter. My question with the reference
desk twitter postings is if the answers are available? Very interesting to see what people
are asking.
