I have mixed feelings about Facebook even though I can see its advantages for posting/commenting on newsworthy events. It gives one the ability to circulate news to a wide audience and for a library this is an excellent way of promoting its self and the things that are happening.There is a possibility that people could post negative comments  in respect to their experiences or events attended and this is then there obviously  for all the world to see, read, and equally respond to.

Setting up Firefox and Chrome straight forward, thankfully. Had a play around and particularly like Firefox for searching - think I might end up using this quite often.Useing tabs will be useful when searching/keeping things together. I have been bookmarking with IE for some time now so will do the same on  Firefox ,and then at some future stage,will decide which site to use the most as  am undecided  at the moment.

Adding a website(Doodle) to my Netvibes page

Instructions page looked straight forward enough when I first looked at it but then when I started using it I failed to find the 'link module' as  this was on page 2 and I hadn't realised there were further pages to go in to until it was pionted out.Just another learning curve is how I should look at it I suppose!

Doodling

 I find  the experience of  using Doodle an annoyance as it is distracting  because of  the advertising . I don't think I will be using this quite frankly as I don't have a need for setting up meetings with multiple options. Outlook serves my purposes perfectly well. On the social side,I prefer  to text my friends to arrange 'get togethers'.

RSS Feeds

Instructions were straightforward and  I felt reasonably intuitive when it came to setting up the feed. Thinking about it, and  as its  now gone on my Netvibes page,I can't see I will use much .....  See previous blog regarding Netvibes!

Netvibes

Found instructions clear but also made discovery regarding my learning style, which is - I learn by visual stimulas and also by talking to people.Once talked over with Sot23 Things participants I felt much more able to engage with this tool. Having said that, I find that I prefer to go into individual sites and so can't see myself using Netvibes much. Appreciate being made aware of it however.

Challenging in Latvian!

 Just thought I'd post up something regarding my last choir practice- which was actually a workshop conducted by a incredibly gifted and enthusiastic teacher who taught the choir a lovely Lativian folksong.It was challenging getting to grips with the pronunciation, but a beautiful end result in three part harmony!
