Twitter

I think it's great that library is using Twitter. If this is how the world learns about what's happening everywhere, then that's what library should be using. We can "twit" about programs, events, author readings, anything! I'm glad that Shawnessy is one of the branches that "twit" regulary.

Library Thing

Library Thing is amazing site for book lovers. I just read reviews of the book I am reading right now - can't be more excited. The site is very easy to navigate and I can see myself spending hours just browsing... Well, I wish I have those hours - can barely find time to read books. As for more practical use - as a facilitator of Adult Book Club in the library I will use the site to get published book reviews.

Online Productivity Tools

I don't really thing that any online productivity tools will replace software. There is so much more options and capabilities in this software I am sure there always be a market for it. And I think I'll stick with traditional methods. On the other hand, there are a lots of advantages to have all your documents available to you on any computer at any time.

Flickr & YouTube

Both websites are very user friendly. I use similar to Flickr program to store my own photos. The great things about it - you can be as private or open as you want. And it's free. YouTube is great entertainment and lots of fun.
