MySpace and Facebook

I had a look at the Jasper Public Library entry on MySpace: pretty cute but doesn't seem to have been overwhelmed with "friends". As a device for marketing the library to a particular segment? -libraries still have a geeky image - but then I saw a "vote for pedro" T shirt this morning and thought about Napolean Dynamite and the charm of the film. Does "geeky" + " integrity" = "charm"?

Who knows, but you have to be in the sandpit if you want to play....

I joined Facebook with minimal personal info - (which may to may not be correct info, you decide!) but at least I'm Tony's friend. Thanks for asking Tony!

RSS feeds

I've joined up to Google Reader which was easy peasy since I used Mozilla and because the Google account was already set up.

I've subscribed to the "Technology" folder that was available on Google Reader and that includes digg as well as wired top stories. Also added Librarian in Black and Lorcan Dempsey's blog too - but those already existed in my favourites folder in Mozilla.

Rather underwhelmed by digg at the moment but I might need to have a look further...

Flickr group

Ok, nearly caught up with all my tasks.

Just joined the 1950's Interior design and residential architecture group. Fantastic photos and group discussions about all sorts of 1950's related design books, sources, homes, colours...

Library Thing

Library thing - interesting in that I found I have some fairly obscure reading tastes (Like the Feng Shui dectective) but 1 person had 5 titles that are in my catalogue.

I followed up and got some more titles to check out from the good old public library down the road. See my list by searching seahorse23

Other people's blogs

So many blogs to choose from: I've commented on Shibuya 109's image generator. Lovely retro Disneyland photo.

Sara J kindly offered another blog for me to look at - must do that in the next few days.

Sea of Memes has an artistically dead flower in her Flickr account, and then found there was a group for like minded dead flower enthusiasts - as she says in her blog "Who knew?" As I mentioned there is plenty of potential entrants for this group in my garden.

Lots of great blog names, showing individuals personal interests and the fascinating things that are being put up on their blogs - I'm learning about 2.0 AND a whole lot of other things at the same time. Great!

Image Generators

Must say I'm not feeling very witty today (not that I'm making a claim for wit at any other time either!)

Flickr time...

Well, I've been off the air for a few weeks...

Time to catch up with Flickr - the photo I've put up is Mattie-the-wonder-hound. She's wondering what I'm going to do next...she's trying to pretend she's asleep...
