Twitter-
This assignment allowed me to view the library tweets and others as well. I don't think that I would use Twitter; I do see its usefulness, especially if you are texting on a telephone.

Cpl 2.0 Week 10
Library Thing-
I have used Library Thing in the past and continue to use it. It is a user-friendly site and I find it easy to navigate. I have recommended it to customers, but I also use the genre books here at Thorn Hill. I enjoyed reading the book reviews and finding out that opinions can differ so greatly on a given book.
Thank you for the assignment.

On-line Productivity Tools
Week 9
This assignment allowed me to look at the Google Calendar. After trying this tool out, I decided that I am a person who prefers the traditional calendar (made of paper)! I am so used to writing things down on my wall calendar, that I could not get used to the format. I think there are many benefits to on-line tools, but I will stay with what I am used to.

CPL 2.0 - Week 8
Flickr and YouTube
This past week I looked at Flickr and YouTube. I have never worked with these programs before. I don't think that I would use Flickr, but it was good to see its uses. I did come across some beautiful photographs for sale.
I am having lots of fun with YouTube. Because gardening is my thing, I watched videos on container gardening, herb gardening, etc.. The videos were from different parts of the world and offered a variety of opinions and suggestions. I would definintely look on YouTube again, especially for gardening or cooking.

CPL 2.0- Week 6 Google and its products
In Google's 'even more' products, I discovered Google's blog search. This product was of interest to me after the blog assignment. With blog search, I was able to select a topic (prairie gardening) and a variety of blogs from the Canadian prairies and the US were available to read. One in particular was of real interest and I may continue to follow it.
I did like the speed of the product and its ability to take me to blogs that I wouldn't have otherwise found. Some of them were very useful and had great information. I would recommend this product to others.
In the future, I look forward to exploring more of Google's products!

CPL 2.0- Week 5
Why do people use social networks?
Because people spend so much time on computers now, I think people use social networks to keep in touch. I don't imagine that many send photos and letters through the mail anymore-- although, I still do!
The assignment was good-- I learned that facebook is free, it is easy to set up an account and that I could track down long-lost friends.
