I think out of all of the generators the image generators would have the most use for advertising events at the library. Other than that the generators were pretty fun but I don't really see where they come in handy at a library. The fairy name generator was absolutely hilarious, i think i might legally have my name changed to Hex Goblinfilter.

i am really really enjoying this thing so far. the thing that i am most excited about is the bookmooch website. it just seems like such a cool concept. i also signed up for reading trails but so far that seems like a bust. i'm already a member of librarything and have really enjoyed using that. i think that electronic books however are incredibly stupid and i can't imagine that it is good for your eyesight. why would anybody ever in their life want to read a book on their phone? i just don't get it. i think that although right now book technology is kind of the "it" think i don't expect that it will annihilate tangible books anytime soon. theres just something about picking up a real book and flipping the pages that can never be duplicated with technology.

the obvious appeal of an online answer site is the immediate response that you are able to get from it. i think that a lot of the questions posed on the sites are kind of ridiculous and would be a waste of a librarians time and the online answer sites serve their purpose here. i do think however that a lot of people are uneducated about all of the great resources that can be found at a library. time and time again people are absolutely shocked when we prove to be so helpful. :-)

I think that travel 2.0 is a very cool concept and one that I will definitely be using when I plan trips abroad or even if I'm looking for a cool idea for a road trip. I am very excited to look at more of those websites when I begin planning my trip to Ireland that I'll be going on in the fall. It looks like a lot of the websites have a lot of great information and tips. That being said I don't know how it is applicable to a library. Probably for work trips and other work related travel but within the library I don't see where it fits.

thing 32

I created a google mashup of my trip to Denver that I went on to visit my sister at the Colorado School of Mines. I thought that the mashup was interesting and might be a lot of fun if I was planning a road trip again. I don't really see much of an opportunity to use it in a library setting though.

Twitter is neat. I like Twitter.

boom.

thing 30

I read my google reader every day. I have different folders for my different obsessions, for example a folder specifically for different recipes and posts about food and a folder dedicated to my obsession with football (soccer). As well as a folder that houses most of my nerdier impulses. The way I have it organized makes it very easy to browse and it is a lot of fun. Also, I don't use delicious because it annoys me.
