I have been using Google doc. Glad to learn about other web apps, like Zoho. Zoho certainly looks a lot more sophisticated than Google.
Zoho’s layout is pretty much like Word.
And I have just tried publishing it to blog. Wow, it went through in a jiffy. How cool! What a raddy tool!
Wow it automatically updated my post. Awesome!
I have just tried exporting it as an html doc. Doesn’t look much different though.
Somehow, I am lost with this session. First off, what’s PBwiki? I was perplexed till I saw the description at the bottom. So it’ s a tool for us to write a wiki page.
Also somehow, I was having trouble creating a login account on PLCMC Learning 2.0 wiki using the password PLCMC on the page. Hmmm…
Glad to know that there are tracking tools within wikis as I never paid attention to them before, as I still have misgivings when using wiki info. Since anybody can post anything, you would hope the info would be accurate.
I checked out all those wiki examples listed. Most of them apparently have the same layout (using the same software?) as Wikipedia that I am most familiar with. Yet it might be a bit boring, compared with “Using Wikis to Create Online Communities.”
As for library applications of wiki, really need to think about it.
I certainly see Library 2.0 happening at ACL already.
Could be a great tool to help us plan and operate library programs–one of many other ways of utilizing Library 2.0.
Tried a search there, yet did not see the results in the specified categories: Blog posts, in tags and in the Blog Directory??
Also checked out the popular section, and amazed that Boing Boing is the most popular.
My question is how would you have time to read all these blogs, talking about information explosion?
Del.icio.us is certainly a nifty tool. Yet I have been using something similar for a while–Furl, which is also recommended by other librarians. How is Del.icio.us better than Furl? I guess I need to find out about ways to export my stuff from Furl to Del.icio.us?
Both are certainly wonderful tools for research at least.
I set up an account with Del.icio.us, yet can’t add the button/bookmarklet to the browser, since I would need the administrator status to install the software.
This certainly is a fascinating tool. I created one called “Cheap Movie Tickets” at:
http://www.rollyo.com/dashboard.html. Hope you can view it there??
I could certainly see great potential uses for a tool like this. Kinda like a one stop searching for any topics of interest.
It keeps saying to help create a library for “books.” What about AV materials?
I then clicked on the Search button and ran a tag search for jet li and found his movies in the collection. Yet, when I tried adding “books” by searching for jet li, only books came up–none of his movies. Quite confusing. Plus there does not seem to be any way to add more than one book at a time, as I have tried holding down Shift key or Ctrl key. You can only add one title at a time, which could be a nuisance.
My library is at: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/juilanliu
While I like all three listed, The Generator Blog would be my favorite, esp. the Paparazzi Pic Generator.–it’s hilarious.

i tried all those suggested feed searching tools and kinda like them all. Granted they are not the same, nor were the search results. It certainly is good to ahve a variety of tools. Bloglines seems most versatile, as it searches in posts, feeds, citations and the web!
