Final posting: Web 2.0 round 2

I found most of the activities on web 2.0 round 2 were relevant to my learning needs. I rather enjoyed the first, second, third and fourth activities. The last two were a bit cloudy for my taste, too much information.
But ...it been a great learning..

Encompass Culture

I had trouble accessing reading group and book lists. I managed to sign up for book crossing, which was interesting. Went through to the link below and I found other discovery links like bookgroup.info, bookwormsearch it worth looking at these.

SlideShare online presentations

I thought I'll share this presentation with you.

Beautiful Libraries in the World

comment on task: It a new learning curve for me, would I use this site again..may be. It too much work to create your presentation and post it on this site, may be we could promote it to customers...sure why not?

What it easy to navigate? first you have to create a username and password, yes that was fine. It easy to navigate, to style your profile and create presentation not so good. ...I am more of an image person click it an paste it and this did not work for me.

TasteSpotting:

Glitter Island (2 servings)

1 cup frozen sliced peaches – unsweetened2 parts Malibu Island Melon Flavor Caribbean Rum2 parts Hiram Walker Peach Flavored Schnapps2½ parts Pineapple Juice1½ parts Apricot JuiceBrut ChampagneSkewered Pineapple Garnish

Place all ingredients in blender except champagne and garnish. Blend until mixture is completely smooth. Divide between two decorative glasses. Top each glass with Brut Champagne. Garnish with skewered pineapple.

Here's to you....your Island destination, go on and spoil yourself you deserve this.

This is an interesting task, it better than searching for receipe in google, I have added this into my favourites therefore I am going to use the site more regularly. The images looks tasty and yes I will recommend this site to friends and also to our customers, if they into that sort thing.

Week 3: FeedMyInbox - RSS made simple

It helps if you read the instructions first otherwise you will lose the plot...the FeedMyInbox tool is amazing all you have to do is paste the website of your own choice like for an example, I have subscripted What's new on the Pulse te Auaha , then check your email and confirm and now you're with "What's new on the Pulse Te Auah" link to the Christchurch library. It easy to use if you read the instruction first...would customers find it simple to use? perhaps the more advanced users, beginner users would need help from someone that is already an expert.

Week 2 : Picapp - when a picture is worth a thousand words



I love roses in many colours, this particular image is nice. The site is very ..very easy to use and no need to sign up ..hooray..it basic and quick if you need an image in a hurry.
The image is very similar to ISTOCk at least this one is for free. Yes, I would use this site from now on, love..the images.

MANUKAU LIBRARIES WEB 2.0 ...
ROUND 2

HERE WE GO....

Week 1 : Box.net - online file storage

http://www.box.net/files#/files/0/f/48424967/Ani's_documents

Here is the link to my files, I have saved these two files so I can access them from home, especially the Rangatahi template shell and also the three panel template. In case i might have to do a bit of work at home.

This is the first time I have used Box.net, it great. You can do so many things and it is very easy to use. what worked for me? The facts that I can save documents and pictures on it, the downside is that if I run out of storage, I will have to purchase a bigger gig. I would definitely recommend box.net to our customers for the reason, they always turn up with no USB to save there work on.
