Thing #7 - Technology

In my experience so far with Learning 2.0, I see that there are so many new technological advances that it seems overwhelmeing to keep up with them all. Also, it is extremely frustrating to have limited access to many of the applications at work. In listening to the most recent talk by Stephen Abrams, it is exciting to hear about the ways that libraries are connecting to their communities through sites such as MySpace. It really seems that we need to be aware of current trends and try to utilize these trends in order to remain current in peoples' lives.

Thing #6 - More Flickr

I was looking through the various Flickr applications and thought that Flickr Anywhere looks like it would be very useful. It allows the user to put their photos on their blog, their myspace account, their home page, etc. I could see it being useful for sharing photos for access by large groups of people.

Thing #5 - Flickr

I found this beautiful picture on Flickr of the town that I lived in before moving to Arizona. Even though I don't miss the cold, rain, snow, humidity, etc, I sure do miss the water! Here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bellullabob/1917682045/in/pool-nesunrisesunset
