Apps! Appsolutely Amazing( and useful)

Dear Pond Creatures, I have been exploring the possibilities of web apps using Google Docs which has many useful apps, is easy to get started and use. Zoho has many more task specific apps especially oriented to business. The next time I'm require to be the secretary( of anything ) I'll remember this place. Slicey

Search Engines Running Hard

Dear Pond Creatures, Since I have recently completed Slick Swamp School for Chefs. I decided to create a sensational souffle. I decided to search alternative internet paths (not Google ) for good cuilinary advice and special recipes.I liked all of them ,but Dogpile flashed me just what I was looking for and without a second click. Yummmm. Slicey

Overdrive Overload

Dear Pond Creatures, Tried like crazy to download an audio book but all I got was an error message.( digital management number ??? ) Very discouraging! I was, however, able to put one on hold. Scant comfort! It's not one I really want. Slicey

Folded andFloundering in Folksonomy

Dear Pond Folk, Notice the new greeting. I am now DEL.ICIO.US and have experienced another good way of making stronger communities of like-minded,similiar interests folks. Instructions for this togetherness venture make some assumptions about the depth of user immersion in infomatics( infomania? ), but I prevailed. Folks, more from the depths later. Slicey

Wiki Works Well

Fellow Pond Creatures, I've heard it said around the pond more than once,"we(you) need to get our (your) act together."The next time we start to organize our annual Summer Slither and Splash Symposium we'll create a Wiki. What a wonderful way to create a closer collaborative community of closed-minded creatures. We really need stronger communities. You heard it here. Slicey

Video, Video, Everywhere

It's been awhile pond creatures, but I'm back in the soup again. Listened to some great music videos on You Tube. Also looked at some library stuff(assignment), but it's a good way to learn what other libraries and systems are doing. Don't watch much mainstream TV. Hulu and Fancast are good ways to sample what is out there, keep up with pop culture, and to direct media mad patrons. Slicey
