This week we have been learning about the world of RSS feeds. I chose the following sites because of their appeal to me:
Daily Interesting Photos: Flickr
Kelly Trow Photography
Aussie Scrap Source
Jodi Piccoult Biography, plus links to book reviews
Entertainment
I love the way we are alerted of new information being posted on our favourite sites rather than going to each individual site and looking up anything new. This is definitely a great time saver!!! I hadn't used RSS feeds before but am looking forward to using them at home from now on.
I think Libraries can benefit from beeing kept up to date from other Libraries. A wealth of information can be shared via the RSS feeds.

Sharing Images
This week has been a fun week learning about sharing images. Flickr was suggested as the site to explore and fortunately I already had a head start on this because I have a love of photography and already am a member. The exercise simply allowed to have a play and explore the site in detail. How cool is that!!!
I have posted one of one of my favourite images actually taken by a friend of mine. It is a stunning picture of a Mandurah landscape. If you do a search on Mandurah on Flickr you will find many great images. I love the fact that you can join groups with similar interests and offer critique and suggestions to help improve people who love taking photographs. There are so many talented photographers posting on this site and it is fascinating to be able to explore images from all over the world.

World of Blog
I love reading other people's blogs, although have not had any experience in writing one myself.
I love the fact that a blog gives us an insight into other people's lives or experiences. I guess that would make me a bit of a stickybeak.
I think they can be of value in a Library. Many patrons that use our library services may not have a home computer at home and need to do their blogging or research of blogs on our computers. For that reason it is most beneficial that Library staff are up to date with the latest technology and the World of Blogging.
