del-icio-us

Well, let's see, after a much needed break from all this, I'm back at it. Actually I've been too busy to fit it into my schedule, but today I'm making the time to do this. I like this del-icio-us networking thing. I can see this as actually replacing some of "my favorites" lists. Let's just use children's storytelling for an example. While I might have 4 or 5 great sites bookmarked under my favorites, del-icio-us enables me to have maybe 50 or 60 great sites, stuff that maybe I didn't even know was out there, and instantly connects me with other folks that are looking for the same type of info. This can be a great quick reference tool, and one that I can see libraries using on a regular basis. That's this blogger's buzz, back to bizz.

I think I'm in Hawaii

Wiki wiki hulu greetings from the big island....

Wiki's are a great reference tool, quick and easy. As with anything, there is SO much info out there the question is which one to choose?

Do you wiki wiki?

Number 9, Number 9, Number 9

Well, this week I was going to embed a U-tube video into my blog, but after 5 minutes of waiting to download a 33 second vid, I decided forget it. So to answer the questions: there is any and everything out there on u-tube, you can spend lots and lots of time (especially when they don't load) looking around. Hulu and Fancast, well, for me I suppose if you were addicted to some TV show, and you missed an episode, you could watch it. Or in the library, if you were young and just starting out in the world and you didn't own a tv, you could reserve a huge chunk of time on the computer, and go to the library and watch tv and/or movies. You could hang for hours and hours, bring snacks....
