Finished

This has truly been a learning experience. Many thanks to Shannon. Without her help I don't think I could have been able to complete all the tasks.

MP3 Player

I have been listening to Eldest By Christopher Paolini. I downloaded part of it to the MP3 player.

#5 & #6

Flikr

This is a very interesting site. I was able to view photos of swords similar to a Masonic sword that I bought for my brother.

Firefox

I tried to download Firefox but was told that I was not authorized to view it. I took the tutorial to learn about it.

Facebook

I took a tour of facebook. I don't like to give out personal information on the web, so it wouldn't be of much use to me. I do see how it would be of interest for people interested in social networking on the web.

# 7

Library Websites

I looked at several different library websites. I think it would be a good idea to add a local map with the location of the library marked and also give driving directions.

We could also include more pictures of activities at the library.

# 20

MovieFlix and Blinkxx

I found several free movies and cartoons listed. I also checked out the top ten movies from this past weekend.

#18 & #19

My yahoo

I set up a my yahoo page which includes the weather, sports and health.

#17

Wikipedia

I didn't edit an article, but I did setup my preferences.

#16

Podscope.com

After visiting podscope.com, I found several other similar sites.

1 Podcast.com
2 podcastalley.com
3podcasts.yahoo.com

Bookmarklets

Bookmarklets are tools that give you the ability to modify the way web pages are displayed.

#13

MySpace

I don't like to give out personal information on the internet, so it's not something I would be interested in using. I do see how it could be interesting to others who like to socialize on the internet.

#11

Librarything.com

I set up a librarything account and have added several of the books I own. It's interesting to see how many other people own the same titles that you do.

#10

Libraryelf

I think this is a really nice tool to have. It will send you an email that your library book will soon be due. I think our patrons would like to have this service available to them.
