Web 2.0 - round 2 - Summary

Another great ride.

Some excellent sites and some less so, but it does depend on the potential user so it is a good idea to be aware.

( You don't need to have read all the books in the library to be able to successfully promote reader advisory services - but you need to know how and where to find them. Same for the internet in my view)


Available work time can be a real issue for some of us.

Well done everybody

Web2.0-round 2-week 6- EnCompassCulture

This is another great site and would be a worthwhile addition to our learn net.

Is user friendly and would be easy to promote .

Some similarity between GoodReads and even our aquabrowser.

Another excellent tool for library staff to assist our customers in reader advisory.

web 2.0 - round 2- week 5- SlideShare

This is another interesting site and user friendly.

More appeal for those with specific marketing/research requirements.

Would be a postive addition in our learn net and easily promoted.

Web 2.0 - round 2 - week 4 - Tastespotting

WOW !
What a fabulous site.

I choose a recipe for "crackle Cookies" ( with my stomach in partnership with my eyes!!)
Stunning visual and seemingly simple receipe.

Site is very easy to use and has endless possibilities from the hungry to the "what do I cook for tea" desperate.
I would definitely use this site again and recommend.

I love it!!

web2.0 - round 2 - week 3 - FeedMyInbox

FeedMyInbox was easy to use, but had some difficulty with blog site chosen and linking.
Could promote but may not.

Could be a useful tool to offer in the learn net.

web 2.0 round 2 - Week 2 - Picapp
My picture is a stunning beach in Saint tropez - not really hard to understand the choice - could be everybody's "happy place".

Picapp as a site is user friendly and would be easy for library staff and customers alike to utilize.

I would be happy to promote this site to our customers - I may even use it myself !!

Manukau could use this to promote services in unlimited ways. Exciting potential.

web 2.0 - round 2- week 1 - Box.net

I have signed up to Box.net and uploaded a file to this new "Box" account.

I'm sure we could find uses for it in work terms, but I would not use it personally.

It was ( eventually) user friendly and could be promoted to customers as required/requested.
