Week 19 - Productivity - More ways with RSS feeds

Previously in 2.0 I had subscribed to a number of Radio National RSS feeds. It's something I did especially for 2.0 however I haven't gone any further with it. I'm interested in RSS to Twitter particularly on a mobile phone. I think this would be alot more accessible. Currently I find logging into sites time consuming.

Week 18 - Slideshows, screencasting & digital story telling

This is fantastic! So many opportunities here. For those of us who cannot always attend library seminars then this is the next best thing - without the travel costs! I really like the whole concept of people sharing their Power Point/slide presentations. It's also a convenient way of training all staff or allowing all staff the opportunity to view presentations at a time suitable to the workplace and where the costs of staff attending some seminars is prohibited. Lots of potential.

Week 17 - Nings

I have joined library 2.0 ning and was pleased to find some 'friends' who were already members. I haven't included a photo of myself as yet but intend to do so. The alternative to Nings was quite overwhelming! There is just so many choices and information about the alternatives that I barely scrapped the surface. Including Nings on a webpage probably gives it a 'family' album type look and a feeling of belonging to those who have joined. I recently viewed a Facebook page of my up and coming school reunion and there were hundreds of Nings to have a peek at.
