Dear "23 THINGS TEAM",
I know it must have taken a lot of work for you to pull all these lessons together and I want to thank you for "encouraging" me to it. My experience with the "23 Things" was totally positive. While many of the THINGS are not really relevant to my personal life--I still don't have enough time to socialize with real live people as much as I'd like--a few of them have been VERY useful. Most of all they are useful to my ability to understand and serve our library patrons.
We have already discussed ways libraries can use Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Wikis and YouTube to advertise and publicize programs and services. Several of the other THINGS are useful to share with patrons like Zoho and google.docs, RSS feeds and Library Thing.
Personally, my igoogle page has helped me organize information a little more efficiently at work and I intend to use Picasa at home to organize and share family photos.
If I read a library book I really enjoy, I feel like I have to buy a copy for myself. I rarely read them all the way through, again, but I fear unless I buy them I will forget them or what it was that I liked about them. My bookshelves are getting mighty full and my pocketbook mighty empty. I am thrilled to learn about Library Thing and intend to use it to keep track of the books I read and what I liked about them.
As far as new areas or technologies to explore, I haven't a clue. After being exposed to the "23 Things" I will be watching out for discussion of new technologies in the professional journals and think I will be braver about trying them out.
