#13 "how to do anything..."

It seems as though you and your internet would "run/help" your life. I can see why newspapers feel threatened. I resist having everything in front of me when I log into my computer, but should change! (The trick would keep internet on your body forever to really have these tools as your daily life!) If I did a homepage, I would consider Google--1st, Yahoo--2. I'm a visual person and the ease of graphics and what was shown on Google is tempting.

The productivity lists are fabulous. As a school media specialist Top 25 Web 2.0 Apps to Improve a Student's or Professor's is really the ultimate.

#11 Del.ici.ous

this article in Smithsonian about the founder, This is where the world genius' take over! --making personal internet indexes.

#10 Wiki fun!

This would be "my place" to work and share. It's so easy. The library wikis are great! A great place to update information for users and share topic areas. Any type of club could really have a sharing-base. It's amazing how much thorough the corporate tech world is in offering all/any option you can think of. You have to love wikipedia for info, knowing that it's potluck info--offerings with all kinds of flavors.

# 9 Collaboration

Tried a letter (image) on Zoho Writer. Complicated, but learned from it. I know a writer/collaborator who has never met his partner. They've published at least one book together, if not more. Team for a project would be a breeze with either service. I like Zoho Writer at this time; the commands are so simple and friendly...but need to check further.
Google Docs would be my choice. I need a place to share mtg. min. and this would be a great tool for the president of our group and myself. The testimonials in both sites -- terrific.

#8 Start of a "folio"

These folios can be so helpful for contacts and possible career happenings. They're so easy to use...http://janecabaya.efoliomn2.com/index.asp

#8 Communicate with photos and yourself...fantastic

Want to show yourself off for the world? Do eFolio Minnesota!

I have to tweak, add, and refine, but it was simple and painless. Editing and updating are very easy. I don't suggest you check out this site http://janecabaya.efoliomn2.com, but many experts and very prestigious Minnesotans are shown here.

#7 Communicate, anyone, anywhere

The trick is to be intelligent and savy about what you need. Time, patience, independent investigation and help from the right people--librarians and technology "teaching" experts. Unfortunately $$$ pushes the momentum. Need and consideration for others are backforces.



This "23" pushes the envelope. The World is Flat!!!



Every library needs to offer as much instant-messaging and online face-to-face communication as it can afford and the community demands. No one needs to be isolated.
