Wiki, what is it and do I like it??

For all though's who are computer savvy, this is an avenue for you. I am not savvy and really was not appealing to me. I did like the fact the when I went on the PALS WIKI I was able to get to the schedule for the SCLS meetings using the cloud. WIKI Cloud, where do they get the names for these programs?? That may be something that is easily accessable to me and I would use.

I did however, create my own personal PBWIKI acct. Don't know if I will use it. Although It could help with the reading books I may want to read.

Technorati and Syndic8.

Alright so this is what I did. I subscibed to technorati. Nice to have news information ready to read. No need to surf the web or search long and hard.
After reading some news, it is disturbing to know that our kids are required to know more about twittering than social studies. They have to be more savvy with links and blogs. Shows how timed have changed majorly. But more importantly, when did I get to be the OLD SCHOOL person???

Syndic8 looks very scary to me. I opened it up and immediately thought, WHAT do I do now??? Helpless is what I am feeling!

Feeds and Catalog

When looking through our new wbsite I saw the RSS symbol. When clicking on it a window containing many sites opened. Nice too see there are many feeds being watched by people. I then tried to subcribe to a feed that " no content available from source at this time" appeared. Thought that was weird, it was libary news. I then went to local news and saw that a horrific thing had happenend yesterday. A child dies over a carrot that was lodged in her throat. OMG that is sooo scary. Think you are sending your child to school with healthy snacks and that happens.

I finally subcribed to the "adult non-fiction" RSS feed. I am very interested in the latest books by my favorite authors.

In the beggining was confussing. But as I chugged on things got a little easier.

Feed Readers

Google reader acct. was searched using ther MSNBC web page. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29509235/Brings me to the 2nd largest jackpot winning for the state of NJ. Unfortunately it was won by 10 winners. It just goes to show you that its not just "you" with a dream.

I subscribed to MSNBC new for the latest on politics. I find most interesting. It changes constantly, and would be nice to be kept abrest of the newest information.
