Flickr

So I just set up my flickr account. And can I say, I had a ton of fun with this assignment. I created a magazine cover for my library’s summer programs. This year the theme of our kid’s summer reading club, and all of our programs is metamorphosis. The butterfly picture is my husband’s, and the programs are all real one’s were having this summer. The tools were very easy to use and now, I’m totally addicted to flickr.

“Social is the new black”

Check out this very interesting article about the race to rule the internet. It’s a very well written piece on the competition between Facebook, Google, and Apple. Especially interesting is the closed versus open source contest.  The title of this post is a quote from the article that I found to be of interest.

LibraryThing

I’ve gotten a jump on our next assignment and I have absolutely fallen in love with LibraryThing.  It’s wonderful really. I’ve discovered a whole world I didn’t know existed outside of my very own bubble. Wow. Just searching for my latest obsession, the Twilight Series led me to a blog post where the poster, like me, didn’t expect to really like the series because well, we had Buffy and Angel. And I will admit it, I loved Buffy. I loved Spike. I loved Zander. But I’ve gotten off topic. Really I just wanted to gush about LibraryThing.
