.Flickr and tagging....21

Tagging is important as it allows Flickr users to find images about certain topics or subject matter. Users can organise their photos into sets. These sets are very flexible as they may be grouped and regrouped into several different collections.

Exploring Flickr -.....20

Flickr it seems nice enough ( is it just me or are all these sites like flickr and blogger a part of something else? ) didn't notice them mention any sort of way to control who can and cant look at pictures...but I was wandering around and I spotted this photo, I guess taken by someone who was on vacation...it reminds me of home, the cool evening breezes the way the sand feels between your toes, and the way the water is clear to the bottom even when you are out on a boat. I really do want to go home every now and then...

2.0 Awards List...19

Since google is my favorite search engine, the third place winner (igoogle) is my choice. It provided me with so much information about the things I like. It's many features allows me to add to, rearrange, and do many new and interesting things with my page.

Tecnorati.....18

Tecnorati is about blogs that are already posted. As they are registered and tagged it makes them easier to find. Since it has so many blogs you would surely need lots of time to find your favorite.

VBPL Wiki...14

It was easy to add my favorite book and author to the VBPL wiki. Other library groups should use wikis to exchange ideas, and collaborate on projects.

Social Networking....15

Online social networking is ideal for people who want to maintain connections with friends and family. It is also an ideal venue to make connections with like minded people. MySpace.com and facebook.com, are some of the more popular websites. It would be great if VBPL would create an place for OSN who love the library. This way they could talk about their school work and books etc.
