Week 4 RSS Feeds

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?

I like the way it groups together the web sites I find interesting and updates my reader automatically so I don't need to keep searching through those sites for new posts. It updates my reader and I am therefore able to read the new posts at my own leisure.

What other sites did you select for your RSS reader?

- Biblia

- Librarian in Black

- Librarians Matter

- Libraries interact

- The itinerant librarian

How do you think you might be able to use this technology?

So I can easily follow my favourite blogs and news sites

How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology?

to direct people to our web site and also to include other interesting library services web sites or blogs on our web site so people can easily find them.

Did you find any good examples of other library blogs?

yes - The Grove and Vic Park Library Blogs

Week 3 Sharing Images Flickr Photo

I just find this photo to be absolutely gorgeous - the colours, the ripples - it is mesmerizing to me which is why I thought I would share it with you all. It is from Ocean.Flynn's flickr stream in the creative commons area. Here's the link if you would like to read about it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oceanflynn/276344173/

Week 2 - First blog post - Message to all Tic Toc peeps

Welcome to our Tic Toc Staff Blog. I do hope you like the name :) This has been created so we can engage with each other using our web 2.0 blogs.

Please remember:

- you will need to write about 100-150 words per blog post;

- you will need to comment on the blog posts of 5 other participants per week.

***Attention Mentors: it will be easier if you monitor the comments by following the RSS feeds of participant blog posts. That way you only need to go through your RSS feed once a week to update your participant progress spreadsheet.

I look forward to reading your blogs!
