Quest 6 Part One Comments

Del.icio.us is great. You can easily capture all your bookmarks into one handy place and never have to wonder which bookmarks you put on which computer. I love the feature of being able to click on "saved by XX other people" and find what else they have tagged--great cross references, in library lingo.

I wasn't able to view the 12 minute Otter Group tutorial, but the other one posted (Getting Started With Del.icio.us) was quite helpful. Del.icio.us is easy to use and I have my handy dandy links ready to go whenever I want them.

Now if I can only remember my del.icio.us login . . .

Comments on Quest 5

I wasn't going to post on this Quest, but I love Pandora so much I just have to! Pandora is the best thing I've learned about in Tech Trek. My favorite music does not receive radio airplay, so I love the idea that I can create stations to capture this music and hear it when I want to. It could easily be used to provide background music for a library program.


I tried the Simpsonize Me! site. I'm not a Simpsons fan and can't figure out why I'd really want to give them my picture only to have it be turned into a standard picture that is pulled from their files. It's not like it's individually created like a caricature artist would do. What do they do with all the pictures they receive, anyway? They didn't get mine, by the way. I found a picture of Cary Grant on the web and used that.


I've used Craig's List and Palmetto Biz Buzz before. Both are definitely useful.
