Widgets are wonderful!

I like widgets and gadgets! If I had more time, I'd probably load up on them. There certainly are a lot of them - something for everyone and every taste!

Social Bookmarking and Diigo

Diigo - interesting.... I browsed around to see what was there, but it wasn't enough to convince me to sign up for an account. Tags are one way to organize favourites, and I suppose this would be good. I'm not a big user (or hoarder) of favourites...

I might browse through the other social bookmarking sites to compare the differences. There are choices out there and one might interest me more than others!

Social Networking

I don't use Facebook or twitter (although I have browsed walls and tweets) - just not my thing, personally. But I do see the interest in it for organizations and companies. Is it just a trend or a fad? What will come next? Is there a fear or pressure that if you aren't personally connected then you will get left behind? I'm not signing up for accounts now, but in the future, who knows?

Photosharing - a piece of cake?

Photo by CoryGurman

There seems to be a Winnipeg theme in my attic, so I thought I would share the only picture I could find on Flickr of a Jeanne's Bakery cake (and not even a nice-looking one, but Happy Birthday Charlene, wherever you are!).

I'm part of the Photo of the Week sub-committee of LAC and we use Flickr, so we are getting more experience using this at work. Please submit photos for Photo of the Week!

Wikis

Wikis would be helpful for doing group work and research. I haven't used wikis recently, so it was great to be reminded of them and have the nudge to get out there and use them!
