THING #13
Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website that allows users to store and share bookmarks on the web vs. in their browser which lets the user get to the bookmarks from ANY computer.
Tags allow computer users (in an informal way) to assign keywords to webpages and images, etc.
I love learning about helpful sites an Delicious lets me do this via networking with others who have identified sites new to me. I can see how Delicious can help me personally and as a professional librarian helping customers at work. Imagine I have access to an endless number of useful websites I can access at any computer!
I liked reading the library blogs (NEAT STUFF) via Delicious, my favorite was "Why librarians are not obsolete." I'll be using my Delicious account mostly for tracking my research, wishlist, and favorite recipes.

ROLLYO: CREATE YOUR OWN SEARCH ROLL
Thing #12
I created my own search roll on a popular topic at the library: gluten-free recipes as well as a topic of personal interest. Rollyo offers so many examples of search rolls other people have created. First I created a link to Rollyo and then I attempted to create a searchbox tool for my blog...I don't think it's working yet.
With Rollyo I can identify, organize, and keep track of unlimited sites categorically I might offer to library customers. VERY HANDY!!!!!!!
Check out this personal search engine I just rolled at Rollyo:

LIBRARY THING
THING #11
Library thing is perfect for any book lover who wants to organize and even catalog their books, they can add tags, and can share their book list preferences with others.
I am using Library thing to keep track of books I want to read and to get ideas about books they have enjoyed reading.

RSS AND NEWSREADERS
THING #8

What a convenience and timesaver!!!!!

MY FAVORITE TECHNOLOGY/FLICKR MONTAGER
THING #6 AND #7
My favorite technology were the Flickr montager and the Flickr slideshows. The Flickr montager allows you to search for the kinds of pictures you want in the montager so I chose cat faces. It allows you to print the entire montager or individual pictures; print it, email it, and manipulate it in other ways.
I found a neat Washington DC slide show on www.deviousgelatin.com/montager/image.php. I could view individual pix or the entire slide show at various speeds.
