Delicious

i think that Delicious is great. All of your bookmarked sites are available to you anywhere you have internet access. As are everyone elses.

Tagging

Tagging should have come after Delicious. Delicious is a great site to see tagging in action. You can tag your bookmarked sites to create your own personal organizational structure.

Twitter

I think that Twitter is fun between friends. It is a great way to let people know what is happening in your library, especially teens. But when Chase Bank wants to tweet me the glow has gone off of tweeting.

Instant messaging

I can see the benefits of instant messaging for reference by enabling patrons to have easy access.

Ning

That was quick and easy. I found an interest group with a quick search for north Texas gardening. The Clark Gardens in outside of Weatherford has a community. If you have never been to Clark Gardens you need to go in the spring when the irises, roses and daylillies are all in bloom. It is a great place to walk the rest of the year with all of the trees and water features.

Facebook part II

I think it is really important when getting into social sites to step slowly and see how comfortable you are when sharing. It is much easier to add friends later than to go back try to limit access to your page.

Facebook

Facebook is a great place for sharing pictures, videos and stuff going on in your life. But I do limit my sharing to those I know.
