#31 Get organized with Plaxo

AT first I thought it was just similar to outlook calendar, but Plaxo promises to update, feed, schedule, cross tasks off my list, add subscriptions, remind, connect, pull in friends and anything else I want from everywhere, tell my contacts what and how I'm feeling, what I look like, send greetings (I actually organized to send an anniversary card to my husband on 4 July!). I couldn't subscribe from icalshare - nothing happened when I tried to events in Hawaii so I gave up. With regard to work in libraries, it could be useful in keeping track of a busy schedule, sending reminders, however outlook also does this. It depends to what degree you want to embrace all Plaxo's functions.

#27 Photobucket

Eeyha! Can't believe my slideshow has materialised on my blog page!
Photobucket is definitely cool and ignites my love of photography. Very user friendly, but sometimes the adverts are annoying. Flickr - well I used to like that one too, but it's been a while! I like being able to use images apart from my own. I would consider using Photobucket to upload and share my photos with friends. AS for it's uses in information services -hmm L&IS could share images of library layout, signage placement. But it appears to be mainly a social recreational site.

#26 YourMinis




Well now my blog is looking colourful if nothing else!

Still haven't worked out how to push the widgets out to the sidebar, (as other bloggers have done) despite trudging around in Layout, edit template and who knows what else....

#26 Little bits of the internet (yourminis)





What magic is this? All manner of aids which appear as if by magic in my blog! I can see how you could apply widgets to our work; quick access to newsfeeds, or podcasts are very handy.
