Thing #7

Searching the Bloglines was an easy way to find feeds that were of interest. I found some interesting blogs from people at the Commission. Looking at other peoples blogs and who was subscribed to them found someother interesting blogs.

Thing 6

Using the RSS and newsreader is very cool and will be a nice tool to have as I like to check about 4 newspapers during the day.
I will be nice to look at the new feeds in one place.
Well moving right along.

Thing #5

I have used IM for a few years to talk with my son daily at college.
The advantages are being able to talk now and not have to wait for a response, unless they are talking with others at the same time.
The disadvantages are they may not be on at the same time as you or available to talk.
I could see this being used to track down a book that a patron is wanting to read.
I would encourage patrons to use IM to ask reference questions.
