I Posted Direct The Edited from Untitled

Greetings!! I am somewhat curious about the benefits of Zoho Writer and GoogleDocs. I imagine it will somewhat eliminate the need for creating attatchments to e-mails etc.. Also, you won't have the problem of switching between Works and Word. I had trouble accessing my GoogleDocs Account. It wouldn't accept my password. I felt like one of our many patrons who have the same difficulty. I did notice that entering your password twice was not required with Google. Perhaps the old ways are the best ways. I intend to fiddle a bit more with these applications. The previous sentences were created in ZohoWriter. I posted directly to my Blog. Nice feature!!! However, it was listed as Untitled. A little practice will allow for mastery of the direct post. I do like how you can enter your Blogger password and send a document straight to your account. Have a killa day y'all.....

Wiki Wiki Wiki Old School Rap

I don't care for Wiki's. I use Wikkipedia to gather information for myself. However, I never give patrons information from Wikkipedia even if I know it is accurate. I fear that someone will look at the Wikkipedia heading and think less of the library. The patron may have only heard about the discrepancies and bemoan the state of the Reference Desk at libraries today. However, I do like the idea of a Wiki for a conference. As shown in the example, you can get solid advice from people that know a particular city well. Beware Restaurant reviews. Different strokes for different folks!!! Wikki's have a place. If we wish to share information I prefer a Blog.

My Space is Your Space

I created a MY Space account last year. I checked it a couple of times and then I kept getting Spam friend invitations. I checked back on my account and was pleased to have a message from an old college roommate of mine. I have tried to search for him online several times to no avail. I have not spoken with him since 1994. That was killa!! I did not care for Bebo. I set up an account. However, I did not create a profile. I do not think I will. I did not find the search feature very friendly. I looked for several people and groups with limited success. I do not like that site. I mean that the whole layout and vibe of the site bugs me. My profile in Facebook is bare bones. I hope to fill in the information with a beverage of my choice in the near future. I enjoyed the layout. I can see myself using My Space and Facebook. However, I do not imagine that I would be a constant visitor or user. In other words, I do not foresee checking my accounts with the frequency of my yahoo e-mail account. I do not like Friendster. Again, something about the layout. If I feel more comfortable using both MySpace and Facebook... why would I use Friendster? I finally switched over to Google Maps because Yahoo Maps was driving me crazy. I had always used Yahoo Maps and continued out of habit. However, I much prefer the speed , ease of use and hybrid feature in Google Maps. My point being that you should go with an interface that you enjoy. I can foresee using LinkedIn. It seems to be career oriented. In other words, it serves a different purpose than My Space or Facebook. LinkedIn is the "work" site and the other two are a beer in front of the computer type. I hope to find some long lost folks in Facebook!! ZZZUUpp!!!

A Flickr is a Woodpecker

Within Flickr, I found an awesome picture of Alex Van Halen's Drum Set. http://www.flickr.com/photos/markscott/114369330/in/photostream/
However, along with that photo was a series of Classic Car Photos. Above the Photo(s) was mention of The Peterson In Los Angeles. I thought " is this a car museum..a rock museum or
what? I was hoping for an explanation within the post. However, I did not see one. I opened another window and did a search for "museum" "los angeles" "peterson" and discovered that it is an Automobile Museum . However, the show I saw was Cars and Guitars which has apparently been held over till February 2008. I do find it funny that they included Alex Van Halen's Drum set in a Car and Guitars show. I must admit I was entertained and also angered by the comments underneath the drum set photo. Everybody was ripping Van Halen apart and comparing their sound with REO Speedwagon. I can understand the dislike . However, I strongly disagree . Classic Van Halen does not sound like REO Speedwagon. This is a scientific fact. I really like the poster behind the drums. I would like to have it for my room. I did find a killa shot of Elvis's Pantera on the actual Peterson sight. http://www.petersen.org/default.cfm?DocID=1014&cat=Cars%20%26%20Guitars%20of%20Rock%20%26%20Roll%20II&ExhibitID=440&index=4 It was funny. After Alex van Halen's Drum Set, the photo didn't have captions. There were a series of famous guitars. I could guess some of them. Other, however, I was unsure of. You could see the information on the display case in the shots. however, they were too far away to read. Again, on the Drum photo captions, several people (many I think must have been from Great Britain or Australia, they said mates a lot) were tearing into Van Halen. I thought about post a comment talking about how great Van Halen is compared to REO Speedwagon. However, it would not change the posters' minds. Also, I do not feel that Old-School Van Halen needs any defense. The proof is in the pudding!! ZZZUUUPPP!!!!

Technorati Masserati

Not so much interest on this site. I was interested to see what Blogs were the most popular. I did notice different results in the advanced search mode. I was not surprised by this fact. When I am on the Reverence Desk I always try to employ different search techniques when ever possible. I did find a killa Blog in Spanish with a copy of the Van Halen show in Philadelphia on October 1st. I saw the show in Greensboro 2 days earlier and was impressed at how fellows in their early to mid-fifties could rock out. However, I do not foresee myself using this site a great deal. I prefer Delicious. I do not care to read too many Blogs.
