Thing 6: Flickr Mashups

1st I tried Color Fields Experimental Colr Pickr and found this photo:


Paddling pool by janerc



I like the Blue color and being a pisces I really like water!

Next I wanted to try Spell with Flickr :

Interesting!

Clockr did not work for me. ???

I would like to have more photos to do a splashr presentation.

I can see why using these tools can be addictive....it is way to easy to spend too much time doing this...playing.

Thing 5: Flickr

Flickr...Flickr....Flickr I have been looking at photo-sharing websites for quite awhile now, but I have never signed up for an account. Probably because it took me forever (just last year) to get a digital camera. I am so behind it tech gadgets that it is not funny. Now that I have the camera I must make an effort to use it more. Especially since I received a digital photo frame for Christmas last year. Maybe by the end of the year I will have that set up and running. Then again maybe not. Time will tell.



As for this Thing I did go ahead and sign up for a Flickr account and I just happened to have a picture or two that I took of displays in our Library. Below is the picture I tagged as 23Things@NEFLIN .




This thing has been fun. I especially enjoyed searching the funny cat photos and the library cat photos. I would like to see our library set up a Flickr account and post our program photos for all to see! Wouldn't that be nice to share the photos that right now only staff can see? umm something to think about! That's all for now.

Thing 4: RSS and Newsreaders

RSS and Newsreaders....
What do you like about RSS and newsreaders?
I did set up google reader in the not to distant past...mostly to read the RSS feeds from various sites....I like to be in the know...you know what I mean...enquiring minds and all that
anyway... I had not added any blogs to follow until NEFLIN'S 23 Things started. It sure does save lots of time so I am not flipping here and flipping there hunting down all my favorite blogs to see just how far behind I am.

So to learn more for this thing I decided to sign up for Bloglines. It was so easy and using the suggested searches before I knew it I signed up for 19 new RSS and blogs to follow. Well since I do try to do some work :) I am making a psychic prediction that I will end up deleting or unsubscribe to at least half of the new. I am looking forward to seeing just how wacky, weird and wonderful some of my picks turn out to be. Be sure and stay tuned and I will let you know about the keepers! ;-)
