Week 8 Mashups

I found this mashup on dual maps at http://www.programmableweb.com/mashup/map-channels-dual-maps/date. In all of the reading and listening, I am still not sure where or how to find the API's let alone use them. This page at least provides the links to google maps and microsoft virtual earth. It would be a way to enhance a web page.

Rollyo and privacy
The annoyed librarian likes to maintain her anonymity as well as her privacy. She likes to hide behind her blog. From what she states, people read her regularly and get irritated by her comments. Appealing to the ALA freedoms seems like a stretch. To read her blog, stop here.

Week 7 Podcasting and YouTube

We have been uploading audio files of lectures to our LMS at ICO for several years. We need to get RSS feeds started to actually make the mp3 files as podcasts.

Logging in to Odeo was unsuccessful unless I had to install itunes. It asked for quicktime but that did not seem to be enough.

I found a video on YouTube about the benefits of print vs computer in a strange fashion. Try the link.

Flickr and Week 6th

I am behind on my assignments and adding a flickr account created another log in and another email service. Web2 is tough to keep up when you have to create new accounts and manage passwords. I posted the flickr photo on the Facebook site. Now I have it in this blog.

ICO library is working on setting up a facebook account with flickr photos.

Uploading a google doc to a blog

Google docs does not list blogspot.com as an acceptable blog for uploading.

Week 5 Web tools

I used the docs.google.com to create a text file, a spread sheet and a presentation. It has basic functionality and can work if you do not want to buy MS Office. Zoho seems like it is a more complete service but I did not sign up. MS Office Live always wants your money. They give a little and want a lot.

Social Book Marking

Today I learned a little more about social bookmarking. Since it is the first day, I will try to access it tomorrow from a different computer. I am not sure that I want to install the del.icio.us tools on my work computer. It should be interesting if I can just view my bookmarks. Thats all for now folks. gd

Social Networking

I am really uncomfortable with social networking. They want too much information. I have enough real friends. I do not need electronic friends.
