The End

I've just finished Web 2.0 and i must say i learned a lot. There is so much out there that I expected myself to know about, and didn't. Even things that I thought I knew were reinforced and explained over again through this program. For example, I knew about Wikipedia.org, but I had no idea about individual Wiki sites. Or Youtube, I think everyone my age goes on Youtube once a week if not once a day, but i didn't know that you could embed videos into your blog. The most mind blowing part of Web 2.0 ,for me, was Google Docs. I still cant get over how convenient the document sharing is.

This program was much more helpful than i thought it would be, to be honest. I'm glad i participated in it and i hope there will be more like this to come.

Google Docs

This is awesome! This program would have helped me out so much while I was in High School. Group assignments would have been a breeze. I admit Google Docs takes a little getting used to but once you have it you're in the clear.

Library Wikis

I've just searched through a couple of library's wiki sites. I like the option on SJCPL's wiki , where they had books broken down into separate catagories like local authors and history related mysteries. I also like Princeton Public Library's Wiki because they have an entire index of their book reviews.

I think that PPL had a good idea having an indexed book review section. I think somthing like that would be a good addition to our library's site.

If we made a Wiki with a section of book reviews, or movie reviews, or a list of events happening at the library,I believe patrons would be more inclined to visit our library.

Finding Your Own Feeds

I found that the best way to find feeds, if your looking for feeds specifically is to use Google Reader's search tool. It has a large list of feeds. I especially liked that there was an option to subscribe to multiple feeds at once by subscribing to a feed bundle.

I tried some other feed search tools like Technorati and Syndic8 but i prefer Google's method

RSS Feeds

Our own library has it's own way of dealing out feeds. The library catalog has it's own specific feeds that it offers. This differs from searching on Google Reader by limiting what you can choose from. This could be a good thing, because people log into the library's website for library related material; book reviews, upcoming book releases, new movies ... For any patron looking forward to instant access to the information they want, this is a wonderful idea on the library's part.

Google Reader

Okay so here is something I just learned. There is a service by Google called Google Reader, which you can use to get feeds to all different kinds of things. I signed up for a few science feeds, a few music feeds, and a weather feed or two.

In my first science feed I read an interesting article about how being envious can actually cause you physical pain. It's actually really interesting. For more information you should read the article yourself:
