Thing23

I found this web challenge very interesting well most of it. Some wasn't all that interesting and I thought it very confusing for me. Since I'm an adult page some was very confusing and there wouldn't be any need to try some of it.
My favorite was world cat and found books that my Great-Grandfather had published and one I never knew about so that really held my interest.
Flicker was a nice thing to learn and the use of the camera.
It was interesting to learn the different tools since I don't own a computer this was big help for me.I found several web sites that I didn't know excited.
If I win the mp3 player then I will listen to the audio book that I found.

Thing22

I searched for Debbie Macomber looked for what was available and chose Susans Garden. I clicked to cart proceeded to check out and logged in my library card number,confirmed check out and then checked download because overdrive was already installed on computer. I found there were 8 parts to mine and took over an hour to download this.I don't usualy listen to books but it is useful to know how to do this for future use.

I found this was very slow when I tried to download a podcast it just didn't work.
I typed in knitting first and nothing happened so I then switched to the tv show "Lost" and basicly ran into the same trouble. However after several seconds that did show up and then was very slow again to show me information.
I will not use this again it was very disappointing for me.

Thing20



I looked for "Captain Video" on yu tube and found what I was looking for.
I was surprised to actually find something on that show since it was one I would watch when I was a child.
It's nice to know there are somethings from our past that are still out there that bring back happy memories for us.
All I did was type in the title and there it was.
This is very helpful to the library since you can put programs on it. I looked at the one from the show that had the actor on it that was done by the library and it was interesting to me.

Thing19

I looked at Zillow the realestate web site. I typed in my address and found the wrong information about it. It actually came up on the wrong street and then I went over one block and there was nothing about it. I knew where my house was but as far as visual info there really isn't any.
This was dis for me.appointing

Thing18

This is a terriffic idea and a great money saver for everyone. I think several people will find this very useful and it will cut down on the cost .

Thing17

Played in the sandbox and left a little dirt.
This would be good for us to have a training manual for our shelvers so there would be less confusion when some of us are leaving and new ones joining our team.
I thought this was very useful site.

Thing 16

The WikiPedia was most interesting for me for different facts to search about . I think the library one is fine for librarians and is of great use to them but for me it really wasn't that uesful since I'm an adult page.
This would probably be useful for planning a family reunion and would cut down on the paper work and phone calls.

thing#15

I shelve books for the library so I found that this isn't helpful and it was a bit confusing howevere as a patron it would work on finding certain books I'm interested in reading. I'd be able to tag them ,bookmark them and get some feed back on them.

thing#14

I looked up 2.0 checked out the blogs and I found for myself that they weren't that interesting. So I typed in knitting and found that a site I had subscribed to for feeders was the top one
there so that held my interest.
I might go back and use that again but then again may not.

thung#13

I thought that del.ico.us was interesting and would be helpful but I don't own one of these little guys at home so it sin't useful for me however it was something interesting to learn about.

thing #12

net library - I'm sure it would be good for people who have computers at home,I for one haven't but it was something to look at. I like to read the actual book so I wouldn't use this.

This was simply amazing for me because I typed in my Great-Grandfathers name which was Charles Pitman Longwell and found out that the book he wrote is in the Trenton Library and as far away as Illinois library. He wrote this back in the early 40's so I'm really into this now and will use this for sure. The title is "The Great Historic Totwa Falls"

thing #11

This one was great added books from Fern Michaels ,Debbie Macomber and Ina Garten. Some i have read others are a must . Loved this one and will use it for sure.

thing #10

My family doesn't even trust me with a cell phone and now you want me to try this.Do I laugh a lot yes and am I confused you betcha.
Is it worth trying yes and on a serious note I am learning just not as fast as I would like and it certainly has been a challenge.

Thing 9

topix-I searched the town of Paterson read some of the news and about the traffic.The site wasn't that difficult to use.

syndic 8 It was different and I'm not really sure if I would use this again. It was a little confusing for me.

technorati I typed in jazz and found it very strange,really wasn't what I was expecting or wanted so no I wouldn't use this again.

Thing 8

Enjoyed this one and signed up for knitting,cooking and reading in general. As long as I remember how to get to it on my own I will use this.
I was surprised at how many people shared the same inerest as myself in so many areas.I think it's a great way to have interesting news items sent to you.
This is a great way to read up on say a knitting pattern before purchasing it in case I didn't really like it.
It's a great way to promote more in fo from us to the public.

I felt he was just really cute and looked like he had a second coat on for the snow.
