This is a great blog site. I think that it is a fast and easy way for libraries to post events and programs and keep current. A fabulous way for any business that is interested in customer service to post information about their business and services offered. A great way to reach the public and bring in more business.

CPL 20 Library Thing
May 19
Library Thing sounds like a great site, but so far I am having a frustrating time trying to join,
after typing in a name &password, etc. it takes me to the guess the author page and after completing that it kicks me back to the home page and says my user name is incorrect.
Will try again later.

CPL 2.0 Online Tools
May 10 - Online Tools
Once again, google is genius.
Is there anything that one can not do with google?
In answer to the question - do you see free online tools replacing expensive software? Yes, yes definitely. Why not? Mind you, once the whole world switches to google - maybe they will create a member fee. But for now, the options and the available free tools on google are fabulous and free!
Do I see myself using the calendars, etc. - not in the near future but maybe one day I will need to or want to.
Thanks for the information.

CPL 2.0 Flickr
CPL 2.0 Flickr and You Tube,
I have viewed both of these sites and yes, they are user friendly.
I searched for photos on Flickr and on other sites and I found photos quickly;
some of the searches compared to the Flickr search were the same results and some were different results.
Flickr has many useful and easy options to use and for those who want to organize their photos electronically and share them with others - this would be a very efficient and useful tool.
You tube is a great resource for someone who wants to broadcast their homemade video to the world and get instant coverage and responses.
Both sites are about instantaneous communication; as for the entertainment value -that is dependent on the user.
As for me, this was my first look at Flickr.
At present I do not have a need for either site.

CPL 2.0 - RSS
RSS
An RSS reader sounds fabulous! I think that it would be great to have every favourite site that you enjoy reading to be compiled into one easy to access place, very quick , very convenient, and current.
Perfect!!
No more remembering several url addresses or going in and out of sites.
I was successful at setting up a bloglines account and setting up several feeds.
I was also, successful at 'adding' a feed by using your second suggestion of the link "Add".
I was successful at finding the RSS icon on several sites.
Yes, this definitely makes information gathering more convenient.
Love it.
