Other libraries are having fun with Web 2.0

However, it is very evident how important it is to keep content up-to-date and to have many links so that a site is easily navigable. "Save the time of the reader" applies to a library's website. I'd sure like to add more photos to my library's website. And using the blog format means that I could have more control over my site rather than going through OCPL IT. However, it also adds more responsibility about keeping the site updated.

Is the tortoise any slower?

So far, in the past THREE months, I've uploaded two photos to Flickr and looked at others. I've looked at the 10 favorite mashups, most of which are nothing more than a game and not all of which would work on my computer (like FlckrTag). I did enjoy Flickr Sudoko and admire the person who made the leap from numbers to images to create this game. Work related? Not really. We used the Captioner to create a flyer for one of our library displays, but the caption wouldn't print nor could we save it anywhere. So, back to using Publisher to do the same thing Captioner does.

I like to play solitaire online as a way of zoning out. Some of these Flickr games will do the same thing.
