Thing 14: Delicious
I can see where this would be very useful. I can't wait till I can add all my bookmarks at work and then be able to access them at home.
Thing 13-Tagging
I wasn't able to totally figure out tagging. I have tagged photos before in facebook and have been tagged. However, this seems to be different. I didn't get much help from the information provided. When I completed Thing 14, I was able to tag bookmarks and I can see where that would be a tremendous help in organizing data. As far as library use, it seems that it could get cumbersome and overdone if anyone can add to anything. Maybe as I use it more, I will have a better feel for practical use in library setting.

Thing 12-Twitter
Honestly, I believe if I had Twitter on my mobile phone, it would drive me crazy! I know many who tweet everywhere. It bothers me a bit that when in a group, a person has the attention on an electronic conversation at the expense of those that are physically there. Anyway, just an opinion. However, I did create an account and plan to do this online only. My username is joyceullah. The last time I heard about Twitter was at CYC 2009.
Thing 11-Instant Messaging
I have Messenger on my laptop. I hate that it always pops up. I have exited, logged out, everything short of uninstalling and it always loads. The bad thing is, the last time was daughter was in, she logged in so now it always pops up with HER messages.

Thing 7 RSS Feeds
Although I had trouble getting the Reader to function properly in all the areas, I saw what a great tool it could be. I added some feeds to my reader so that I could show my husband how it works. He is the one that consistently checks the same sites every day so I was excited to show him how he could save some time.
Thing 9
I joined TLA, PLA and since my husband is from Pakistan, I joined the Pakistani Library Assn.
