At last

Well, I have made it. It has been a interesting journing. I do enjoy learning. Whether I will use all of the 'things' is another question. Some of it yes. But it is good to know what it is all about when the tech savy people talk about it. The expection of the customers are very high and sometimes I think the lines are rather grey about how much we can do for customers. I know we are in the information trade and expections are changing very fast. Keeping on top of everything is not easy.
A bishop in Italy has suggested people forget about fasting and give up Facebook for Lent "to cleanse themselves from the virtual world and get back into touch with themselves." I think that is a mouthful and something to think about.
I am glade it was only one month long. I think it was long enough.

Stumble through social pages

Digg - seems to have it all. Looks very simple but only after using the website, one can work out the pro and the cons. Too American I think.

Stumble is more to my liking. The main plus thing is that you can limit it to you particular interests. The search can be personalised. It is the one stop for all your web pages, picturesand blogs. Being able to rate the website is really cool. The help index is a handy too. I chose to sign up for Stumble. Downloading the tool bar took too long, so I had to stop.

Reddit is very similar to Digg. You certainly get some int resting information. Some of it is , what shall I say odd? interesting? after having read the article, i start wondering did I really want to know that?It is said curiosity kills the cat. I did not like the language on Reddit.
The two stories I read were about police's reaction when some teenagers went onil, onik. I was
curious about peoples comments and then I wondered why on earth I read that. Headlines do catch my eye. You can also buy blessed Christian salt on line. How about that.

Animoto

Animoto is certainly interesting. It can be a lot of fun.
The only draw back is that it is slow. There are never enough computers for staff. I started twice
creating a video, but both times it took a bit too long.
Animoto is very useful for up coming bands and artists which is a excellent thing. It also could be very handy for anyone one the look out for new talents.
This can also be used in promoting the library service especilly for customers who are reluctant readers.

Go Animate

http://goanimate.com/go/movie/0BlTh4OYDmpA?utm_source=emailshare&uid=0x2mjJmK279g

It is fun going into the website. I spent too much time looking at other peoples creation.
I think this would be very poplar with the young ones and some not so young ones.
You certainly need broadband for this. This episode is work in progress.
