Method Four RSS or "Olly, Olly, Oxen, Free"

Love readers!!! I have so many blogs that I find interesting, but there just aren't enough hours in the day to actually keep up with all of them. Now that is not an issue!

If only I had a reader to manage my address book and handle daily, weekly, and monthly correspondence.

The Reader is like home base where all the bits of information that I used to spend time chasing around the internet can be found. " Olly, Olly, Oxen, Free "! I go to home base and all the information is waiting for me. I love it!

I added the following links to my google reader:
Austin Public Library :

New York City Library

and then
The American Library Association's technology blog

Method Three

I enjoyed learning about cloud computing. I wasn't sure what the term meant but now it makes perfect sense. I thought the information from the blog entries and articles covered good ideas as well as voicing some legitimate concerns. I hadn't considered the privacy issues. It would be nice to know if the cloud is in a gated community where our information is protected and where the gate keeper isn't sharing it in order line his pocket.

I think it is vital that libraries over training to users and also help them understand the consequences.

I have a lot to learn as to how to fully utilize the various features of google and zoho as cloud sites, but the portability certainly seems to support the mobility of our society.
