Well I can see how Delicious can be useful to some people. I personally don't have a need for the services of Delicious at this moment. I signed up for delicious but didn't install the additional software at this time I went ahead and marked some of my own favorites I had marked already. They are Newsarama.com, Its The least I could Do, and Anima Designs.
Well I guess that is all on Delicious. I already did all 23 things but am just now getting to Blogging them. I shall be back shortly.

Thing 13 Tagging
Well, I like tagging....wait....I mean the computer kind. LOL!!!!! I like clicking on one word links that send you off on a tangent while you are reading an article,etc. It would be interesting and quite useful to have it on our catalog at work but I believe that our system cannot do such things. Or at least that is what a co worker told me, who is in tech services. (You know who you are.) I guess that is all I have to say on tagging. On to the next thing.

Thing 12 Twitter
Ok I see the reasoning behind Twitter but I personally don't want to know every thing a person does at every minute of the day. I could possibly use this if I was traveling somewhere and was worried about where I was going or where I was at. I am afraid I really don't care about anyone enough to know their life every minute. Maybe I'm just tired, as it is close to time to go. I'll make sure I am a little more upbeat tomorrow. Thanks all and have a good day!
Thingy 11 Instant Messaging
Hi all again. Instant Messaging or IMing is not really new to me. I have been IMing for quite a while too. I used to use a IM program but now Facebook and YahooMail both have IM incorperated programs. The one in YahooMail is an aggregator as well as it can use multiple IM programs. I use my IM to talk to my college buddy Jason who works at a women's prison in Oklahoma. I also use it to send secret messages to my co-workers if there is something interesting going on. LOL!!!!! I use IM on Facebook occasionally when talking to friends who are across the country. Guess thats all I have for IMing. Now onto Thingy 12.
Thing 10 Ning
Well, Ning is an interesting place for finding like minded indiviuals who share the same interest. I didn't join but searched around. I found tons of interesting groups to join but don't really have an interest at this time. I am a member of so many internet sites and groups now that I couldn't keep them all strait, let alone remember the passwords. I guess this is where a blog reader would come in handy. LOL!!!
I searched many subjects but some that stood out was a search of voodoo! Wow, new age still lives. I found one site dedicated to Jimmi Hendrix under that heading as well. Another thing I searched was Dungeons and Dragons. Having been an avid player growing up and still did up to a couple of years ago, I was a little shocked at how many sites were dedicated to the game still. Long live RPG's !!!!!!!! Well, I ate too much at lunch and am finding it hard to keep focused.....can't.......concentrate......need.......nap..ZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!! on to the next thing.

Facebook and More Facebook.
Well, Facebook is nothing new to me. I have had a Facebook accout for like 3 years or so, maybe longer. I have 172 friends there who i actually know. Its not like MySpace where its a competition of how many friends you can get. I don't talk to all 172 all the time but I do every once in a while. I use Facebook to keep my student assistants informed if there are any changes they need to know about. I use texts for that too, as I can Text en mass. I am a member of 21 groups on Facebook, like Bacon Salt, I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammer, and Historians Against The War. to name just a few. I really don't mind using my real name either. After I got on it my Boss and i used to to promote Library programs and events. I was really surprised this year by the number of people from my Hihgh School who had made contact with me. Plus as a n added bonus they have included numerous games recently. I myself and lots of my friends have been playing Farm Town. Its a cute little game where you creat a working farm. The only problem is you have to keep logging in to keep your crops from spoiling or you fruit trees from rotting. Its a good thing the animals don't need upkeep. Some of my friends are totally addicted to it and get up at various times in the night and farm. So I am and have been a big fan of Facebook and see the many uses it can hve to a library of the modern age!

Google Reader and RSS feeds
Hi all, I'm here again! I had a great vaction with my girlfriend in Guthrie, Oklahoma!! I wish it could have lasted longer. Thanks Jason and Melissa for putting up with us. Well I got told to get my butt in gear by my administrator here for the 23 things! LOL!!! Just kidding, she is real polite. Anyway I promised to get back into this stuff so here I am.
i just got through looking at the Google Reader. It is for subscribing to multiple websites and recieving whats new on the sites you add to it. If you have multiple sites you want to see what is new then this is handy. I used to have one of these a year ago but i forgot the web address when my computer crashed the second time. i also got a "new" computer and cannot remember the address of the site before. Oh well, it was not useful to me at the time. Readers like these are great for the information junkies we are all becoming now. I personally love it. usually If i don't know the answer to something , I must find it ASAP! Well this makes such things easy. Now on to the next thingy! As for the RSS feeds you can't have the reader without the feeder!!! LOL! E'nuff said.
