Ohio Weather
This "Ohio weather" post uses Microsoft's Popfly. Besides mashups, you can also create games and webpages without writing code. Clicking on each image takes you to more information.
My tweets are in the sidebar of this blog. I am so glad I can just put everything here. That way I can keep track of where I have been. Whew. I have been a lot of places in a very short time.
Later entry: I took the twitter off the blog because I wanted a simpler follow button, but haven't found what I wanted yet 9/24/08-

Library thing (click this title)
Doing things is the way I learn. You see the widget from Library thing in the side bar. While exploring, I found a similar site http://www.shelfari.com/ for sharing books as well as http://www.delicious-monster.com/ which Catalogs your books, movies, music, software, toys, tools, electronics, & video games. [...] “Wait, I just hold a CD or DVD or video game or book or whatever up to my webcam, and it magically reads the UPC and downloads that item’s cover and all pertinent information about it, and displays all my stuff on photorealistic shelves?”[...]
Delicious library has a very nice look, too. All the more pleasant to work with, my dear. Design is everything.
At this point, I haven't delved into the smartphone world. I keep things simple and inexpensive as possible. But http://krow.livejournal.com/535313.html gave some insite into using a smartphone at the book store where looking at your lists or other's lists of books comes in handy.
When it comes to using all these new tools, I think reading the opinions of other users very helpful as well as informative and they usually offer some extra sources that do similar things.
One thing leads to another. Librarything is a great way to connect with other people from the comfort of your home...or anywhere for that matter.

I see you
I spent some time looking at other participant's blogs this evening. There is so much information that I am gratefully suffering from info overload. I never would have learned or been exposed to so much so fast any other way. I am especially pleased to find information or links to neat tools like meebo that can be used in social networking. So, at the end of this session of web trekking, I have a my space account, a youtube account, a delicious account, and a meebo account. Now I just have to keep account of all the accounts.
I noticed that those who are proudly in the career of librarianship frequently have a lot to say and/or share. This one; Any Number of Things is absolutely mindboggling and The Amazing Adventures of the Type A Librarian
has introduced me to meebo as well as the possibility of adding to my collection of library attire.
I hope everybody stays on board and finishes the 23 things as well as sharing more neat tools on their blogs. For those I have read who are apprehensive and unfamiliar with all this, I wasn't too far ahead of you in the first place and I believe there is something in all this for everyone. See you in the bloggosphere.

Mashup mania

The second link has all sorts of toys, games, and utilities. You can make badges, motivational posters, etc etc etc. I am still working on this, but research is going along well.

RSS and newreaders
I am stumbling and numb. I am still not all together sure what I am doing, but I managed to get an article (go to very bottom of this blog and click the subscribe to: posts/atom link)into this blog and suscribe to feedburner where I found this important tidbit of information;
FeedBurner Integration for Blogspot Blogs
"Starting right now, you just log into your Blogger account, select Settings | Site Feed, enter your FeedBurner feed address and click "Save Settings." Zap! Pow! Kraaakkkk! Now you've got the complete picture of how your content is being consumed out here, out there, out everywhere."

This is a picture I use on the computer at work. Stunning creature.
I am still learning about mashups and third party sites. Several staff have commented that they have been blogging for a while. This wasn't something I ever did before, but I am having a great time looking around at what is available.
