YOUTUBE

there are so many wonderful things about youtube.  I personally love looking at old TV commercials and music videos, but hey! Who doesn't?  However, lately i have become slightly obsessed with 'the procrastination song' (the first one that pops up).  Basically, its about a kid who's procrastinated so much and doesn't even know what the project he is supposed to be doing is.  Why do I love this video? honestly, I think we all have that minor procrastination problem, and if not now, some other time!

How could youtube be used in a library setting? well, if a person makes a "channel" for the library, it would be easy to get people to subscribe, from there, any upcoming events posted in video form (almost like a commercial) would be sent out in a notification to the patrons/viewers and then they would have the option to ask questions via commenting. Just throwing it out there.

SO! I went onto web 2.0 awards, and I clicked on fun stuff because the assignment said to choose something you like, and I tend to like fun stuff...

Moving on, my personal favorite of the top 3 was "hair mixer".  This tool allows you to take your face and switch it with other peoples hair styles! It's actually way too much fun.  I was easily absorbed in this tool...

so basically, this blog is just confirming my previous blog (#170), if I had to choose a form of sharing data, it would have to be google docs.  It was optional to use googledocs, so i used that.  not only has this been benefitial in school (it helps me cut down on the disgusting amount of work given to me by Mr. Kommer) it has also been a really fun way for me and friends to werite back and forth to eachother about our days, without it being completely public! So MUCH FuN!!!!!!!

hey there! so it's been a while, but I've added my blog link to the wonderful PB wiki...so it's there, it was simple to use this application although I still probably will not use it.  i prefer to use googledocs to share information with friends and I find that the email-notification with that tool is particularly handy.
