In the end, I found More Things On a Stick to be very educational and felt a burning need to share what I have learned with others. I really liked learning about Twitter especially because once I did the whole twitter mania started. Also, some of the Travel 2.0 and Music 2.0 I found to be very interesting and helpful. I especially liked all the Travel sites that I found on Travel 2.0 and really wished I was going some where so that I could look up information about it. Also, I really liked all the free courses that you can do on WebJunction. Also, the Digital Storytelling was a lot of fun and I think would make a great computer class because so many people are into scrapbooking. In all, I learned a lot and for some of the things I will want to reference back to especially the Economy thing. So, in all I really enjoyed More Things on a Stick

Thing 41: Mashup Your Life
I tried Lifestream.fm and Friendfeed and both were interesting sites but I don't really know when I will ever use these features. Also, it seems to just add to the several social networking sites I use. However, some of the other sites seem to put everything together into one site which may add time in that you only have to go to one site to view all your social networks that you belong to. However, there are many features that are unique to facebook and twitter that I think in some ways you loose out in how these originally sites are set up. So, in some way these services make your life easier but in the end I don't think I will use any of them. But it is good to know about them.

Thing 31: More Twitter
I tried posting my favorite music onto Twitter which took some time but I finally got it figured out. I like twitter and it fits into my social networking as must as anything else; meaning I really don't do much social networking. I did add my name to the twitter directory but as I never post anything I don't think I will gain many followers. In all I find Twitter could be a really helpful and fun social networking tool for libraries especially if the tweets are interesting as well as informative. In all I find Twitter to be a helpful tool that anyone can use.

Thing 27: Twitter
I thought Twitter was interesting to look at. Yet, I just don't take to time to update my status or read what other people write. I think that twitter can be useful to a library and really fun if a lot of people were involved. I think it would be fun to have a book reading twitter meaning that anyone in a library system can sign in to write what they are reading which others who subscribe could see. I did look at some of the library created twitter which could be an interesting way to do publicity for the library. In all twitter can be an interesting and helpful tool for a library.
