#20 YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay this week we got to play with *coughs* I mean study, one of my favourite websites...YOUTUBE!!!!!!!

I love this site...I can spend hours on there because one clip always leads me to another and then another... I have been a member for nearly 11 months, CLICK HERE to see my user page. I have added one clip which has been watch 614 times and has 3 comments.

#17 and #18...can't think of a better title for this post.

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I now have way too many user names and passwords!!! I can't remember them all, I need to create a website like del.icio.us or bloglines where people can login with one username and password and be able to access all their saved sites at once!!! Or is there a site like that already out there??? Primrose has been using a notebook to write them in but then she has to cart it round with her. I joined Zoho so I suppose I can create a document and write them all in it but it would be easier to have a site where you could just sign in and click on a site you have saved and it would take you straight in...however I suppose if someone hacked into your account then they would have access to all your accounts...hmmm.

For my "discovering web 2.0 tools" I joined Last.FM I tried to go into PANDORA but it knew I was from Australia and due to licensing constraints it was restricted to the USA only... Last.FM was the next one listed on SEOmoz's web 2.0 awards for music so I joined them instead. I haven't had a big play with Last.FM yet so I am not sure of all the the site can do and wikipedia will be able to explain it much better than me anyway. I was very happy to find some songs from my friend's old band "The Kissingers" and I was able to add them to my playlist and listen to them online. His new band "The Sugarfree Masons" has a profile but don't seem to have any music uploaded, I'm not exactly sure what that means. I haven't downloaded the software that goes with the site (because I am at work) so it can't scrobble my computer yet but I will download it to my home computer when I get home tonight...hopefully I will be able to remember my username and password...

Libraries, wikis and venting...

I am only going to do a quick post and just mention a few things I have looked at in Learning 2.0.

Library 2.0...I know it is all about making it easier for the users and keeping up with all the other libraries but if we all band together and stop now then maybe the users will never know what they are missing. ;-)

I love technology and I love libraries but the libraries I love are quiet and structured which brings me to another thing I'm not sure I like...tagging...it is so....I can't find the words...I guess I feel like there might be stuff out there that I could be missing out on because I might tag something differently from someone else. I guess it is different if I am using del.icio.us just for myself but then I have to remember which tag I used the last time I was on a similiar website. What if in the future libraries start letting users tag items instead of using something like LC subject headings then everything will be all over the place, and I can't have that...I must have order!!!!

Another thing I am not sure I like is wiki's, yes they are great for sharing info but what if you do a ton of research on a topic and then someone who thinks they know more than you comes along and deletes it all?!?!?!?!? I would be extemely upset about that I think, plus anyone can put anything on there without having evidence...

Claiming MY blog!!!!

So here I go claiming my blog from Technorati. It's mine....all mine.

Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine.

Mmmmm delicious

If you have read my first post then you know that I am studying to be a librarian. And if you haven't read my first post but you read the first sentence of this post then you also know.

You may also have noticed that I have changed the title of my blog.

I am currently in the middle of completing my last assignment for this semester. I am designing a brochure about best recordkeeping practices in an organisation (riveting stuff I know). Anyway I have been looking at a lot of books and websites for ideas and now that I have found del.icio.us I can bookmark all the sites I have been to so I can go back later and add them to my bibliography. Yaaaayyyyyy!!!! This saves space in my favourites folder and it doesn't matter if I am at home or at work doing my homework during my lunch break I can still login and access them. So I have decided that I really like del.icio.us.

Rollyo rollyo rollyo....Move 'em on, head 'em up, Rawhide.

I think I am falling behind a bit in my posts.

As you can see I have added the Rollyo thingy (very technical term) to my blog. After much thought about what subject I should use I decided on the one of my favourite subjects...The Muppets.

I guess I will find it useful for myself, but I am not sure how many people who read my blog will actually use it and/or find it useful. :-)

What I did find interesting though was the fact I had to use google in order to find all the sites that I usually look at when I am looking up Muppet info...so...does that defeat the purpose of Rollyo??? Maybe not, as you know google gives you tons of sites that just waste your time. I find it very annoying when I go into a site that looks good from the google page but on further investigation turns out to be...c*^p...i.e. not what I wanted. Whereas with Rollyo I have put on the sites that I know contain good info...in other words...I have already wasted my time looking at them. ;-)

I am sure there are other good Muppet sites out there that I can add to my Rollyo search thingy (there's that technical term again) and so I will keep using google as well if I can't find what I am looking for in my Rollyo search....thingy. ;-)

Librarything thingy

I joined librarything last week but I haven't had time to post about it. I added a few books that I have read but I have read sooooo many that I can't remember all the titles and I probably won't use it anyway. Now if there is a website out there (I am sure there is) where you can do the same thing with DVDs that would be great. Then I could access it on my mobile when I am shopping. I can never remember what DVDs I own. To date I have bought 3 DVD copies of the Princess Bride (one of my favourite movies). I also own it on video which is why I keep forgetting that I have bought the DVD, so I have given one to my Mum and one to my sister and if I forget again and buy another one then I am sure I will find a home for that one too.
