CPL 2.0 Twitter

Don't really get it--not sure why everyone wants everyone else to know their business at every waking moment...

CPL 2.0 LibraryThing

Had never heard of LibraryThing before, but will definitely be mentioning it to customers and possibly using it myself. Great way to keep track of what you have read. Also finding other titles by same author, award winners and reviews. All great stuff!!

CPL 2.0 Online Productivity tools

I know, the Google calendar has been available for some time, but never looked at it before. It is really great. Until I get an IPhone or IPad or start carrying around a laptop I will still be using by old-fashioned Mead calendar. I also have Microsoft Office on my home computer and will continue to use it, but I certainly do see the advantage to web-based office tools.

CPL 2.0 Flickr and YouTube

I have watched and enjoyed videos from YouTube many times and have found it very easy to use. There are some very entertaining videos out there. Not sure that I would ever post one, but you never know!
I had never looked at Flickr before and found it very user friendly as well as far as I went with it anyway. There are some incredibly beautiful photos available for viewing. I have scrapbooking software at home but I would like to spend some more time on Flickr to see if it is something I might use instead.

CPL 2.0 RSS

The few sights that I do visit on a regular basis do not have RSS, so I added a co-worker's blog and the CBC Calgary site, to see how it all works. I can see this being very useful for someone needing to keep up-to-date with information. I will try to look for the RSS icon when I am looking at websites to see if it is something I will use.

CPL 2.0 Google

I found some interesting stuff on Google that I did not know was there. I have used Google maps and images frequently, but now I am going to take a closer look at Google Books and Reader. Picasa looks like it might be something to take a look at as well.

CPL 2.0 Social Networking

I already had a Facebook account that I use very infrequently. It has been nice to use to catch up with some old friends that I have lost touch with, but it is not something that I feel the need to use on a regular basis.
