#43 Online TV & Video

I just explored Hulu and some of Joost. Neither gave me what I was looking for. When I go to my computer in my home, I am going to have a feed to CNN News at 9 at night with Anderson Cooper. Sometimes I am unable to view this in the evening and just feel that I have missed my news for the day if I don't see it. I felt Hulu was a little better than Joost, but there is so much of everything in there that I am not interested in. (Daily Coyote was one of my favorite books to read.)

#47 Evaluation

I just completed the "More Things On a Stick." I guess I would say that it has had some very good experiences and some, not so exciting to see what comes up. Google Maps was one of my very favorites. I love to travel and it was good to just reminisce on where I had been. We take tons of pictures so I have tried to incorporate a few of these too. I did see just a very few times, maybe even just a single time, about genealogy. We use Ancestry.com at our library and it comes in very handy. Also, we have acquired thousands of names into both my husband's and my personal genealogy and that can be very time consuming. I do love doing it though.
I believe WJMN will prove to be very educational.

#46 WJMN

I have just recently signed into and joined WJMN. Since we were to have More Things completed by 05/20, I decided to do it and what I have seen so far in it, I will be very interested in attempting some courses. So far, I have watched two short videos, one on the proper way to repair binding on a book. It really amazed me to use cloth rather than glue. I do much of this kind of thing at our library so that is one thing that would be very useful for libraries. The other video, on the ice cream flavors and by adding more to have a wide variety, really makes sense to join with other libraries. Interlibrary loan books can add so much more for patrons to choose from by being able to loan these books to other libraries.

#45 Cloud Computing

A user could be at a terminal taking advantage of services, storage space and resources provided somewhere else on another computer through an internet connection. Emails could be in Chicago or documents in Seattle. Today, you could be moved to other servers, but the URL's have not changed. Cloud computing could be emails, favorite pictures, maps, webcams, blogs,ebay or check reconciliation. I personally, would not do my banking online but we are assured that it is safe to do.
Storing word processing in Google Docs or accessing email, using Ebay to purchase online are all forms of cloud computing.

#41 Mashup Your Life

I believe this would be the most unlikely place that I would want interactions with friends. They are feed aggregators that consolidate updates from social media and networking. Twitter would be one and I have heard from the media that after being on this for a month, that many just forget about it. I am in Facebook and am not real hepped up about it, although I do use it occasionally. What I do appreciate is a blog that I can interact with a relative 1,500 miles away. I have blog posts and pictures that I have uploaded that are fun to look at, but I wonder how many others are really that interested. I use a webcam from an airport far away that I am able to know firsthand when my family is back on the ground in their hometown and also find out what the weather is like on the ground there in their home.
