Joined "Feed my inbox" unfortunately I couldn't open the video that explains the concept (at the moment)....and so I've opened up a vid on youtube and discovered that 'feed my inbox' is exactly that. I've got the latest updates of
I'm still waiting for The New Zealand Herald and The Gisborne Herald updates, so I've added the urls.
Videos, News, Blogs, Shopping, Search, Twitter and many more websites can be added and sent to one's inbox.
This would be helpful to me when focusing on Library and or Maaori sites, however, with huge amounts of information already coming through my work email, I would need more time to read and to clear my emails. :(
PICAPP,
what an awesome site. Because I really do love images/photography I love it, love it, love it! The two images I chose, were of a ballet, I love the colour and life in the photograph, and I liked the 'circular-ness' in the image of the great wall of China. This site would be so easy to use by both staff and customers alike and I would definitely use it again. What I did like about Picapp was the choice of using either 'creative' or 'editorial' photos. Although, it did disappoint me that under the search 'Maori' there were only 2 photos to chose from under the heading, Maaori.
Aside from that the benefits to Manukau libraries and our customers would be the use of up-to-date, high quality and 'legal' photographs, and yes I would recommend this site to our customers.
So what was I suppose to be doing with Box.net? I was to visit Box and create a Lite account then upload a file of any kind from my pc? Unfortunately, I have to use the Learn.net in the main library because our work room ones can't access Box.net. :( and my files are on my workroom pc...now how do I sort this out??? ok create a file on the learn net. Yeehaa.
So that done, now to answer the questions. I think that 'box.com' could be used for work purposes/personally for sharing info...however, I think it is rather slow...could it be the learn.net or the young men watching what I'm typing whilst breathing over my shoulder hehe.
It was easy to set up an account although I found it frustrating that I had to do this on the learn.net (fighting among the hoards of customers wanting to use the learn.net :) and away from my work room pc. (creating files etc)...and I guess I'll have to use my home pc to fix this all up...in other words to prettify it :) Ok what was the next question...I don't know if our customers would find filesharing useful, I would think that sharing files would be more for work files and why wouldn't one do it at work and not in a public library? Having said that, I would promote box.net if there was a call for it.
ps just accessed box.net on the workroom computer :)
Yes, here we go again, on a magical merry-go-round :) Web 2+ - bigger and brighter.
