Slideshare

This was better than I thought it would be. It was fun looking at the slide shows. In fact I spent way more work time than I should have looking at them. I enjoyed the fun ones. I don't have to do presentations for my job(thank God) so anything like this is just for fun. Here is the link to my account: http://www.slideshare.net/tlhssc
As you can see I like cats.

Delicious

For me this is not a tool that would get used very much. I can see how it could be fun and useful if you were a perosn who did research or just surfs the web alot. I don't spend that much time doing that. Mu time on the web is usually spent doing something specific. For Nebraska Access some words that I would use are research, Geneology, magazines, databases. Most of the ones taht are already used are good. But if I were looking at just those wrods to see what Nebraska Access was I think that some of the description words are missing. If I looked at just the words used to describe it I would not think to look at that site for magazine articles, or some of the other items that are offered. I know that is just me though because I happen to be a person who looks for exact words. When I was using the delicious site I looked at things like cookies, to me that is the type of words I am used to using. Not research type of words.

Twitter

For some reason I really had a hard time with this one. I got signed up and can follow several people but I really don't see the point. I have a Facebook account and it does the same thing. But the difference with that is tose people on there are my family and friends. The twitter thing is mostly people that I haven't met. So I don't see a reason to follow what they are doing or to have them follow me. I don't see a reason for this in our Library. We aren't that big and can pretty see what we are each doing just by looking around. I could possibly see using this at work if it was a huge building where you might be wondering about someone on the top floor when you are on the bottom floor. Or possibly if you just transfered away from a job and could keep up with friends or activities. Anyway for me Twitter just isn't all that great.
