Twitter

Thoughts on Twitter... as it is limited to 140 characters or less, I can see this as an advantage as it provokes short information transfer in a short form. I would thinkconciseness would tend to be the result, hopefully cutting down on extraneous dialogue, and the time wasted in so doing. I'll give it a try and see if this holds true!

LibraryThing

Practical applications at work... a possibility, and might be worth trying out. Just need some more time to familiarize myself with its application, and then perhaps decide whether CPL books, author and e-books offers a better/more concise/broader service for our public. To be seen!

Other Productivity Tools

I would stick to more traditional tools that seemed to have been around an appreciable amount of time to prove, at least, their longevity.If i were to use one of these productivity tools, perhaps I would choose to go the Google route as I am more familiar with how it operates and this would provide me with quicker access to its functions.

RSS

Although it took a little more work to set up my RSS account, I found the information options fairly interesting and so chose two I thought would be of interest. I'm not quite sure at this point how often ...

Flickr & You Tube

As a choice in searching for Tunnels on Flickr, different results were found that were quite interesting and could produce opportunities for sharing ideas, photos, and deeper discussions.

You Tube's Did You Know 4.0 provides an opportunity to view what's available IF you have the time to watch. Dramatic chipmunk like the original Alvin the Chipmunk is cute BUT apart from that... of what purpose? Alberta's Libraries, Books and Beyond is of importance only as an amusing lead-up to more important details in the other commercials promoting libraries.

Google Feedback

Apart from other advantages of Google(listed briefly below), I searched the Advanced Search Tool, eg. Theme Settings, especially the section that is customized to location, time of day, etc. As well, I searched for "Stars" for other information, and Book Marking. I would find this, among other Google advantages, as one of many reasons I find Google an excellent Search Tool. It's fast, and at this point in time, I have found little to dislike about the site.

Facebook

Is Facebook useful or a time-waster? That is the question.. whether 'tis nobler to.... and so on. Welllllll.. I guess if you have lots of free time to play at this, then maybe OK, but I can think of better ways to spend my time more productively. But that's just me, and to each his own!

Wikipedia Thoughts

Wikipedia comes across as a very easy-to-use tool for information gathering keeping in mind the fact that the information you are looking at just may have been edited, and perhaps result in somewhat incorrect information. Apart from that, I found the information easy-to-access and appreciated the other highlighted options included in most sentences that provide more, or related information on the subject. The Rogets Thesaurus section timelines provided good scope and general overviews. Recent changes are interesting, and some quite amusing, for example, if you can understand the language and pronunciations of the "Scots" section.

Overall, I would probably suggest Wikipedia as an information source to a customer, but perhaps with a touch of "cautionary" note.

Delicious feedback

My initial reaction to Delicious was WHY is this website any different from, eg. Google Searches, etc. However, on further look into Delicious I'm willing to give it a further perusal especially as it seems to refer "specifically" to items not normal used by Google searchers, and in a more condensed setting. I'll play around with it a bit more.

2.0

Wow! This really is a challenge to a non-teckkie but with help from my friends @Bow, I'll give it a "go"
