Tastespotting


I registered with Tastespotting and found some awesome recipes...so many! Where do I start? I chose Vietnamese Gingery chicken wings, because it filled three of my criteria, it had to be a simple dish, easy to put together, fast to cook and therefore eat :) The site is easy to use and I have used it before, because there are some great recipes and would probably continue to use it. However, there are other sites, one for example is Allrecipes which is easier because I can find recipes by the ingredients that I know I have at home, as well as relating to recipes from NZ and Aust.
It would be beneficial to learn about 2.0 web activities that relate directly to libraries and our customers. Although I think that we get to learn so much more as well, that may not be related to work only. What did I always get out of looking at the beautiful pictures of food... is the drawling effect :)

Feed my Inbox


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. :(
