Quest 11 Online Apps

I'm in Google Docs typing this document for my post. This would be great to save this without needing a thumb drive or disc. I like the fact that I could share with others. Any or all of us could edit document and see each others edits. This is free, I don't need to worry about which version I'm using.

Quest 12 YouTube and Podcasts



Great way to find videos,you could spend a lot of time goofing around looking at some crazy videos. Some have great listening music too.

I looked at the different Podcast directories and could find some Podcasts about Libraries. But I couldn't get them to load. I think Podcast might be fun I'll try again later.

Quest 9 Wiki

Here I found things that would be very helpful. A wealth of information about a variety of different topics at the same place, and very easily accessable.

I actually went to ccplotaku wiki and viewed a few of their wiki pages. It was pretty neat.

Quest 7


Flickr is great. I love lighthouses so I found a photo of one to blog about. This is a favorite of mine because I visited this lighthouse last summer.



Quest 6

I went ahead and created a delicious account and here is the address:
http://del.icio.us/frogirl

I think it's neat that you can go to one website and have access to my favorite links. Tagging helps to keep them organized.

When I used Advance Search in Library 2.0 I found a lot more results than when I used Tag Search, or Blog Directory. Technorati would be good to find blogs.

Quest 3

This was a great experience. I've heard people talk about it. I actually created an account and was IMing with a co-worker. It was great. It was like a telephone conversation over the computer. I think it's really neat.

Quest 8 social networking

This is really interesting, You could become a part of a very large circle. I can see how this could be very helpful in certain instances. I'm not ready to open an account at this time. I have concerns about providing my personal information on these public sites. At a later time as I become more familiar with these sites I may be inclined to try one or two out. Right now you cannot get too far because most of them want you to sign up. I did look at each one of them.
