task 17 web 2.0

these sites and programs seem to be helpful for the most part. to those who arent too computer savy they might not help and the old fashioned going to the library and asking works for them. yet with todays computer generation i think 2.0 is a useful information system to those who seek it.

craigslist

criagslist is the online classifieds. its good for selling if someone doesnt use ebay and its local too which is a plus. i picked a post advertising ny rangers tickets because i love hockey and the rangers are the team (even though they're not doing so hot right now) but the tickets are selling for 200 or best offer and the game vs. the islanders which is a good game to watch

suffolk wave

this website seems pretty useful. it reminded me of netflicks because there's no late fees =0) and much like my fellow musician nathina, i am in love with the classics so Bach was a must.

task 15 docs

the google documents is a great tool. this site is good to use in collaboration with a professor who can help a student out while writing their papers.

task 14 wikis

wikis seems to be very helpful. sometimes with reviews of just one person whom you dont even know cant be helpful in deciding what you want. yet with the wikis you can read posts by just about anyone with numerous people giving their information to share so it makes decision making easier for the reader or the person who wants the information. the book lovers wiki would work great and having it in the library will make posting opinions on books easier as well. its like having a book discussion online.

task 13 new feeds

once i figured out how to use the google feeds i liked that site the best. it was easiest to pick out the feeds that someone would personally like to look at and also to organize them on your own side tool bar. the help page and finding feeds in the search was also easy.

task 12 feeds

i think the feeds off of our library website are much more helpful than google feeds because i think our site is easily accesable and less confusing than google. you also dont have to create an account with out website. this way our patrons will have easier access to information that we think they should know or be interested in.
