Reading 'About' Twitter was helpful and was going into the link Twitter 101 for Business. Searching using Libraries was interesting and produced several informative links right away. Currently the info we post is program advertising for the most part. Perhaps we could open separate account/s to strike up some conversations relevant to library staff and users.

I enjoyed the tour of Library Thing. It was easy to navigate and I especially liked the ability to vist, live, the catalogue enhancements, the reviews enhancement and the shelf browse enhancement. An excellent resource.

The Google docs tour was an eye opener. One can do so much - perhaps everything we need. It could definitely threaten the dominance of MS Office. I can see whole organizations moving to it. For now I will use what I have for the most part. The new creating and editing drawing function looks excellent.

Both Flickr and Youtube are user friendly. I found the Flickr tour especially useful as I had no idea about the range of options available.

Bloglines worked well. I subscribed to : librarian.net , Library Stuff Resource Shelf , and The Shifted Librarian . I'm looking forward to the aggragating function and the updates.

There are some interesting google products. I have found google scholar to be useful in the past and enjoyed google earth. Google books seems a bit deceptive as they only offer limited previews/information when you might think you are going to access full text free.
