Well, here I am at the end of 23 Things.
It's been fun, and I definitely learned more than I expected to at the start. I really liked Flickr, and will definitely explore it for pictures in the future. Library Thing is fun and addictive. I also love the idea of doing more with wikis in the workplace--the library could really benefit from these, I think. And Digg.com, the site I explored for Web 2.0, is one I will definitely revisit.
While doing my 23 Things, I also learned how to create hyperlinks and embed video into my blog, two things I've always been curious about. While 23 Things didn't teach me these "things" directly, the program gave me the motivation to set up a blog and begin my own learning process, which is perhaps most valuable of all. Thanks to 23 Things, I'm seriously considering setting up a blog or livejournal account in the future--something I'd never thought I'd say (err, type.)
Thanks 23 Things! It's been fun!

Week Nine, Thing 22: Audiobooks
I have used NetLibrary before to help customers, so I'm already a little familiar with it. I think it's easy to search for titles; however, I've found most audiobook downloading sites have extremely complicated instructions for downloading the software--and this is all before you can even get the book. I know this is for copyright protection, but it does make the process off-putting to many users. I think Project Gutenberg is less intimidating to new users, even though it has less material.
Downloading books is certainly a neat idea though, especially in this new ipod generation. I've never been a big fan of listening to books in general, but these days it's easier than ever thanks to equipment that can travel with you anywhere.
I am a big fan of ebooks, and that's one thing I did look at on the Project Gutenberg site. I've already read a few books this way (as an English major in college I often had to read books with expired copyright) and I've found it very useful. I also like the ad-free format of Project Gutenberg; it's very refreshing.

Week Nine, Thing 21: Podcasts
I can't believe the creators of 23 Things were cool enough to have Ask A Ninja explain podcasts. They win like, a billion awesome points for that.
So of course my first thought was to find Ask A Ninja podcasts to add to my RSS feeds, but alas, he is only available via itunes. Oh well.
I found another podcast, Film Talk, where a couple of movie reviewers argue about different titles. It's fairly interesting, but like RSS feeds in general, isn't really what I'm looking for. I can definitely see the appeal of podcasts, but again, I'd rather go to the source myself than have it thrust upon me via a subscription.

Week Nine, Thing 20: YouTube
Yay! Finally something on the list that I'm already more than familiar with. I've already gushed about youtube in many of my other posts, so I probably don't need to say much here. But really, where else can you go to see crazy, foreign language versions of your favorite children's tv shows? Or an old music video you once loved but nearly forgot about? Or what about that funny, viral video everyone has been talking about? Don't get left out--get YouTube!
All that's left is my video, so here's my current obsession:
Everyone who's ever owned a cat NEEDS to watch this.

Week Eight, Thing 19: Web 2.0
For my Web 2.0 exploration, I decided to look at Digg.com. It's a site I've known about for a while, mostly because people mentioned "digging" articles I'd found and liked. When I saw it listed on the Web 2.0 awards, I decided it was time to have a look.
I can honestly say that Digg.com is the first new site I've found so far that I might incorporate into my daily reading. It's a collection of articles and videos submitted by users. These items go into the "upcoming" category where people can look at them and choose to "digg" them. If they get enough digs, they become "popular" and go to the main page. The site even has the items broken up into categories like "news," "entertainment," and my personal favorite "comedy videos."
This site is great. It's almost like youtube, only it's guaranteed to be only videos that people have liked, bypassing all the junk you often have to sift through on that site. Searching by category also guarantees that you only find what's relevant to you.
I also like the idea that I could have the chance to "vote" for articles I enjoy from my favorite websites. This aspect of sharing and promoting what I enjoy is, to me, the best part of Web 2.0.

Week Eight, Thing 18: Google Docs
Since I already have a google account, it made sense to take a look at Google Docs. This is something we're already using at work, so I was interested to learn more about it.
I think it's a great idea, and it seems so obvious it's hard to believe it hasn't already been done. My normal method for transferring documents between computers is to send them to myself as an email attachment. Google dos just cuts a step out of this process and makes everything more convenient. I love it!
The only potential downside I see is the loss of an internet connection destroying your work when you try to save. However, the fact that Google will autosave it every few minutes helps with that as well.

Week Seven, Thing 17: Sandbox Wiki
The Sandbox wiki seems like a great idea as a wiki training ground. It's a nice, informal environment where people can learn to post without worrying about too many people seeing it. That being said, I wish it were formatted so that people could group their posts by topic instead of in a big list. I guess that's stuff for the advanced course, though.

Week Seven, Thing 16: Wikis
Let me go ahead and say it: I LOVE WIKIPEDIA!!
I know, I know--Wikipedia should never be a cited source in an academic paper, nor should it be the first place you turn if you are looking for authoritative information on a given subject.
However, the wonderful thing about Wikipedia (and wikis in general) is that the information is written by people who are passionate about their subject. Everything on Wikipedia is researched, written, and organized by people who simply want to share what they know with others. I find that amazing. Taken with the requisite grain of salt, Wikipedia can be a goldmine of information on every subject you can think of (and tons you can't.) Anything you want to know is a click away--history, pop culture, science, literature. Even better, many keywords are hyperlinked, so you can literally follow those threads along the site for hours.
Done gushing about Wikipedia now, I promise.
I found all the wikis listed under the discovery exercise to be wonderful as well. I'd love it if our library could have something like SJCPL's subject guides, which is almost like a FAQ in the amount of ground it covers. It strikes me as a wonderful way for customers to get their questions answered, with helpful links for them to follow as well. I also liked the booklover's wiki. Having something like this would be a great way for customers to interact with us and each other, as well as create browsing lists of titles for them to look through--after all, how many customers wish we had something like that for DVDs? This would be a great start.

Week Six, Thing 15: Library 2.0
It was interesting to read about the way Web 2.0 is changing the nature of library service. It's something I've been hearing about for years, so many of the ideas weren't new to me.
One interesting new idea I came across was an interactive library catalogue. I think it's a great idea to let customers "tag" our books or maybe write their own reviews. We could also have something like amazon's "list" feature so customers could share their favorite books with each other. Librarians could also have their own lists, and maybe we could have blogs on our website so customers could see what we're currently reading. It'd be a new way to bring people together and connect them to the library at the same time.
Overall, I think the library has done amazing things with new technologies to expand and improve our services to the community. Still, it's an uphill battle to get the word out to people about all we can do for them. So many people are surprised (and pleased) to discover all the new things the library has to offer--they still see us as just a place to come get books (and maybe movies). We have to work on raising awareness about the changing nature of the library and its place in the community. I agree with the end of the Web 2.0 article--the library of the future must encompass everything people already know and love about libraries, combined with the technologies that make us relevant to an increasingly tech-savvy population.

Week Six, Thing 14: Technorati
Here's the thing: technorati and I, much like RSS feeds and I, just don't mix, personality-wise.
Both of them begin with the premise that you are actively looking for more information, and I, for one, am not actively looking for more websites or blogs to add to my daily reading. For me, the process of collecting bookmarks is organic--it grows out of a network of sites or other sources I already trust. I guess the difference is like hearing about a great movie via word of mouth vs. finding it on a "if you liked this, you might like..." list on imdb.
Further, I'm definitely not the type to want to add my blog to technorati, even if I did understand the html to do it. I'm just now getting courageous enough to have a blog in the first place, let alone know that millions of people might see it!
It was interesting to look at the blogs that came up under their "humor" tags, though. I'm so predictable.

Week Six, Thing 13: Del.icio.us
Heheheh. Geek humor.
I found this picture on lolcats, a website listed under del.icio.us's "humor" tag. I was pleased to find a lot of sites I already knew about under the tag, and a few I didn't.
I'd known what tagging was before exploring del.icio.us. I'd seen it mainly used on Youtube and Livejournal, as a way to find related posts or videos. Tagging is very useful on Youtube, because if you can't remember the exact title of the video you're trying to find, odds are good that your search will fit one or more of the tags someone created for it instead.
I'd never thought of tags as a useful research tool before, but now I see how they can be like a folder of shared information about a topic. Interesting!
In the spirit of things, I've even tagged this post. Yay!

Week Five, Thing 12: Rollyo
I must confess my experiences with Rollyo have left a bad taste in my mouth.
I tried to make a searchroll for "movies," including some big-name sites like imdb and rottentomatoes, but also featuring some smaller-profile review sites that I like. When I try to search, however, all I got were results from the big two--even when I deliberately searched for things I knew I could find on the other sites. (Not to mention the results page was crawling with "sponsor's links" and other ads.) If the purpose of the site is to create a way to narrow down information so you only see what's relevant to you, they do a pretty poor job of it, in my opinion.
Either that, or my search choices just don't fit with what your average Rollyo user would like to see.

Week Five, Thing 11: Library Thing
Oh dear, I think I could get addicted to this.
At first, I wasn't sure what the point of Library Thing was, except as a way to compile all my favorite books into a list. For me, it was going under my profile and seeing all the users who had similar books on their lists that really changed the way I saw the site. I started with about 13 books, and then looked at my profile links and kept seeing stuff I wanted to add. Now I am at 48 books!
And I haven't even started rating them yet...
Honestly, the only thing that would keep me from being involved in this site more is time, specifically, lack of it. Otherwise, it seems really fun.
Here's a link to my library:

My favorite image generator was the ID badge maker. Similar to the trading card maker, it lets you add an image with accompanying text. Of course, I had to do a kitty.

Week Four, Thing 9: MERLIN
So adding MERLIN to my feeds was simple enough. I looked around the site a bit and it seems interesting. Although I had to laugh when I saw the link to Second Life. Let's just say I've heard enough about Second Life to be pretty sure I want nothing to do with it...
Searching for feeds was a bit frustrating. Most of the sites I went to--feedster, topix, and syndic8, seemed to throw ads at me no matter what I searched for. I find that kind of thing off-putting, and I'm not into information overload. Most of my internet bookmarks are sites I found through links on sites I already enjoyed, or were suggested to me by friends. I'm just not the type to go looking for up-to-the-minute headlines all the time.
Technorati was the only site that seemed useful. It was all blogs, so I didn't get links to ads, and some of the links were interesting. Nothing I'd want to bookmark, though.

Week Four, Thing 8: RSS Feeds
Here's the link to my public bloglines account:
www.bloglines.com/public/rreznick
It took me way too long to figure out how to do that...
Okay, so I was all set up to blog about how I don't like/don't care about RSS feeds, and then I had to go and subscribe to some interesting ones. Drat!
I grabbed a couple of library feeds, and was pleasantly surprised by how useful they were. For example, I found a good list of books in YA urban fiction, which I happen to be booktalking in a couple of weeks. This list confirmed some of the books I'd already picked, and alerted me to a few titles I didn't know about. Very useful!
Plus, I found out where all The Daily Show videos have gone--to the official website of course, which I now have as a feed. Curse you Viacom! Erm, I mean... how convenient!

Week Three, Thing 7: Technology
So I'm standing at the information desk the other day, trying to help a woman, when her young son runs up to the desk and interrupts us.
"How do you spell 'tube'"? he asks, bouncing with impatience.
The woman is not a native English speaker and she seems confused by this odd request. I, however, immediately understand her son's pressing desire to spell this word.
"You're looking for YouTube, aren't you?" I say. "Type in y-o-u-t-u-b-e-dot-com."
The boy runs off, leaving his mother to stare at me in consternation. "He wants to watch anime," I explain. I know this because the boy had been looking for manga earlier. She just shakes her head as if to say "oh-these-kids-these-days-and-their-anime-and-their-tubes-or-whatever" and we get back to business.
But it got me thinking--not just about the fact that kids watch anime on youtube, or that this is so common I was dead certain that's what the boy wanted to do, or even that it's not, strictly speaking, legal, but about how youtube, something I wasn't even aware of two years ago, has become such a huge part of my daily life that it's the first thing to pop into my mind when someone says tube, instead of say, hampsters.
Anyway. I had reason to think about this again when my mom and I were watching the Colbert Report the other day. Angry at a bear for eating a copy of his book (don't ask), Stephen decides to throw a copy of a Berenstain Bears book into a blender.
"That'll never blend," says my mother. And it doesn't, really. But it reminds me of the infamous series of videos "Will it Blend?" in which various unlikely items are thrown into a super-blender and, against all odds, blended. These videos have all been put on YouTube, of course.
Here's some choice episodes:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=l69Vi5IDc0g (glowsticks)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=KdEVTqINi0s (tiki torch)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=NdD54rG9oQA (Chuck Norris)
And there are many, many more. Youtube will gladly find them for you with its "related" feature. Ah, Youtube. Is there anything you can't do?
Edit: Apparently, now there is. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are no longer available on YouTube. Guess Vaicom finally won their lawsuit...

Week Five, Thing 6: Flickr Mashups
Awww! I made coffee bunny at the trading card site, but I actually found him with the flickr color pickr. I saw him come up and just had to grab him!
I really liked the color pickr feature. I could definitely see this being useful at my job, when I need to find images that go with my displays or flyers. I had only used google image search to find things before, but I could definitely see myself searching flickr for images in the future. The color pickr is great because my displays are often built around a color theme.

Week Three, Thing 5: Flickr

Week One, Thing Two: Pointers From Lifelong Learners
The hardest habit for me is definitely habit 2--accept responsibility for your own learning. I'm terrible at self-motivation. I only push myself when there's a specific deadline to meet or people who are counting on me to come through for them. I can fulfill most of my obligations with this approach (even if I squeak in at the last minute!) but it also means I miss out on enrichment opportunities because I don't seek them out on my own.
The easiest habit for me is habit 7--teach/mentor others. People have told me that I'm a good teacher because I'm patient and I explain things clearly. I don't mind going over something step by step with people who are unfamiliar with it--I often get asked to help people on the computers for this reason. Teaching others also helps me solidify what I've learned in my own head through repetition, so that's an added benefit.

Week One, Thing One: About This Program
I registered for the 23 things program several weeks ago and I'm just now making my first post! (Guess which of the lifelong learning habits is my weak one...)
Some of the "things" I'm already familiar with and some I'm not. Sharing funny Youtube videos is a weekly ritual for my friends and I, and Wikipedia is often my first choice for finding information online (shameful for a librarian, I know). On the other hand, I've never heard of odeo or bloglines, so that'll be all new.
Let the learning of fun begin!
