The Second Web 2.0

I just complete the current Web 2.0 study and I was quite enjoy the study for the Box.net  and other website knowledge.

I have learned three sessions of Web2.0, I think all three are quite good, but the latest one is the best. We can find more useful tools on the web as our on-line storage and also got a lot of resources for working and life.

Hope in the future under the super city library, we will have more useful and interesting training like this.

EnCompassCulture

I visited the EnCompassCulture and quite like it. As English is my second language, I always feel confused and frustrated when I want to find a good book in English to read. I preferred to get a book which is recommended by the readers and know what is like before I began reading. The EnCompassCulture Website is very helpful and useful for the readers like me. I can find out which new book is very interesting and recommended by other readers and also can get some ideas from the reviews from other readers to know the books style and content to check if it is the book that I like to read. The library staff could advise the customers when they asked the advise on the books, no matter for what ages as EnCompassCulture has the different sections for the readers in different ages. I will promote EnCompassCulture to some customers who is not sure about which books they should borrow.

Slideshare-Resources centre

Today I visit the webiste of slide share, which is very easy to search out the information your need and also can find all sorts of resouces on the website. For example, I use library to search and it's very easy to get the 2.0 presentation, it also support other languages in slides and if I use Chinese to search the library-related presentation, I also can find some. I think the customers will find it simple and I may advise the customer to use it if they create a very good presentation because it is also free for the public. I will use this site again to share my presentation with my friends and others as I often receive soem interesting powerpoint presentation which I'd like to share with others. It's a good place to go.
 
I will promote this site to customer if they need some resouces for their presentation, but I will not promote it to every customers as I think some of them don't like to read the powerpoint documents on line. Furthermore, the speed of the internet is quite critical for the customers, I found it took a while to get into one slides and it went through very slowly. You need to be very patient to wait for the response from the website :(

Anyone like to show your presentation, please to slideshare!

Make RSS feed simple

The Feed my box is very easy to use and make my RSS feed simple.I also introduced it to one of my customers and she also likes it very much. Feed My box send me email everyday to advised some new feeds that I am interested in. We can use it in our workrooms as we always need some updates on the internet about the library in the world but we may not use it in the Learn.nets as some customers may not like receive the email everyday for the RSS. I will use this site everyday to update my knowledge and will advised some customers if they are willing to use RSS feed in their life or working. But as the RSS feed over 5 will charge the money, I will advised the customers to keep the best five and do not exceed it.
