Week 5 thing 3

I do see where Rollyo could in fact be useful to me personally and for work as well. It's pretty easy to create and could save time in the future.

Week 5 thing 2

I found the Library Thing interesting. It was neat to see how many others had included my books in their catalog and to read some of the reviews. I believe this could be a tool I'll continue to use.

Week 4 thing 2

It was interesting to look at blogs and the variety of feeds available. When I first heard of RSS feeds my first reaction was that they would be a timesaver. However, like a lot of other things, all this available information could also be a time user. Time is very valuable to me. My goal for the use of feeds is to save time by not having to go to different sites to look at the information I want to see. Though it is tempting to create a lot of feeds, I believe a person could very soon be spending MORE time looking at information. So, one of my conclusions is that unless an individual can afford the time, discipline must be used to limit the feeds created.

Week 4 thing 1

I must say that the last three or four feeds that I added to my bloglines site went much smoother and faster than the feeds I did earlier. Practice does indeed help. While I haven't really yet had a chance to use my bloglines site much, it does seem that it surely will be a useful tool to stay in touch with news, weather, etc.

Week 3 thing 3

This picture illustrates the pony express. In the background men are putting up poles for telegraph wires, which of course was a huge step forward. Now here we are blogging, sending pictures over the internet, taking pictures with cell phones... I'm amazed. Can you imagine what the pony express riders and their customers would think if they were here?

Week 3 thing 2

I found this picture as I was playing with Flickr Color Pickr. It reminded me of the bush in my front yard. I love to watch the butterflies play on it in the spring. However, all too soon the bloom is gone.
