Week 4: IM and I

First off...
"pst....fyi <3 IM via cell er MSN itsa gr8. bbl or c u 2morrow. tyty. 8)"

Now if you understood that then you too are either a IMer or gamer. I regularly use my cellular phone to text message to either a friend's cellular o their e-mail. When I can't contact someone that way, I may log into MSN IM to see if they are online.

I suppose I should translate the above...
Note...for your information I love instant messaging through the use of cell phone or MSN messenger, it is great. Be back later or I will see you tomorrow. Thank you, thank you. (smile)

I will have to check back with the Virtual Librarian for he/she was offline at the hour I was able to work on this weeks Learning 2.0. I am pleased to announce though I have managed to catch myself up on this fun and educational online course. Thanks to VBPL for the opportunity.

Week 3: WIKIS-Woe is me!

Okay, so about this Wiki business. I get the idea, I totally get the ease in the purpose, and I even think inserting a link in a Wiki edit would be easy enough. Take the Virginia Beach Public Library System Wiki (as suggested). In it the Norfolk-Southern Railroad was mentioned. Now in a search I did find information on the Norfolk-Southern Railway via a link. So PRESTO! right? Wrong. I had no earthly idea how to make that connection dispite the Wikipedia cheatsheet, youtube video, and tutorials. So, alas I chickened out and the only edit I saved was the change from Railroad to Railway. Now is the time to hold my breath in wait to see who has issue with that small of a change.

Week 2:RSS and Me

RSS?? Something I've always seen but never explored or knew what it was all about, much less what it actually meant. Well, FYI (for your information) RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is the information one stop shop. It saves time clicking on different favorites or typing in various addresses. You just subscribe and BINGO! there are the links to all right in one place. Now, to just remember to go check it, since its now in my internet highway todo list of World of Warcraft gaming, Myspace blogging, MSN chatting, and managing now four e-mail accounts without Outlook. Wish me well.
