I forgot to tell you that I also looked at Blurb and Quintara. Blurb is a self publishing Wiki. You can make a book and publish it yourself. It is great and would be fun for anniversaries, birthdays, etc. as well as for beginning writers.
Quintara is a Kids search engine that was very user friendly. If you are a chilren's librarian you should check it out.

Wiki Wiki Wiki
I have taken a class on Wiki's at SMRLA and learned quite a bit about Wikipedia at that session. I even edited a Wiki during that class and it is still posted today 8/23/07. I just edited another session today from my hometown so we will see if it stays also. I like the way you can check to see who changed the wiki.

Future of Libraries
Libraries are entering an exciting time and it is up to us to be excited and enthusiatic about all the new technology that is evolving. I am trying to keep up with most of it. I like the fact, that with most of these applications, they are available anyplace there is a computer that has Internet access. You can get to your bookmarks from anyplace. This is nice for me, personally, when I travel to the other branches each week.
Del.icio.us
I like the fact that when you bookmark you can get to your bookmarks from any computer. The other thing I found interesting was that you could see the top bookmarked sites and decide if you wanted to add it to your list. I was not real thrilled about adding people to my site that liked the same thing as I do.
Rollyo
I explored Rollyo and I can see that it could be helpful when looking for a specific topic. I did my list on Travel. Hopefully I can find some nice places to travel.

More learning
I am totally amazed at myself. The learning is continuing and I am continuing to have fun. I set up my Bloglines reader and also added another picture to my blog.

Imaging fun!
I just made my Avatar with Meez. What fun. I never knew there were so many choices. I now want to open my gift to see what is inside. I did not find a button for that yet.
