SUMMARY OF MY THOUGHTS
Well what can I say? At the start of this Web 2 I was feeling rather negative and didn't really think that I would get this far.
I have enjoyed most of the exercises especially liked flickr,postcard browser and library thing.
Not so keen on zoho writer and rss feeds.
I have found that I am not too old to learn new things and that I am not quite so much of a technophobe as I thought I was.
Feeling rather proud of myself for persevering and not throwing in the towel.
As you can see I have gone a bit crazy over the beautiful pictures of the places I would love to visit.

Social Networking and Libraries
I feel that by using sites like MySpace libraries are creating new ways to market themselves to a much wider teenage "audience".
They give the teens chance to connect with favourite authors and musicians and hopefully they will tell their friends about how great libraries are.
They are also a good way to get the message across announcing activities and services at the local library.Therefore hopefully achieving a higher public attendance at book launches and talks by popular authors

Get Social My Space and Facebook
I checked out both Auckland Library and Rotorua Library sites on Bebo and found them to be very colourful and informative.
Then went into My Space and had a look around Trip Advisor. You could look for hotels etc and check out prices and availability. Would be very handy if I was lucky enough to be planning a big overseas trip.
I then tried out a music site of one of my favourite singers and really enjoyed this one. There were videos and blogs and lots of photos. Will probably go in and login for this one.
Had a quick look at Facebook and found quite a few people that I know registered on this.(Including members of my family).
I don't think that I will register myself as I feel that these sort of sites are aimed at the younger generation.
However I did enjoy my visits.

E Books
I decided to look for a couple of my childhood favourites "Little Women" and "Peter Pan".Found them both on Librivox.Also checked out Google Books and was impressed with the range available.E books would be vary useful when travelling ,but I personally much prefer to curl up with a "proper book" and a large box of chocolates
