Learning 2.0 - RSS

Creating a RSS seems to be quite simple - managing it seems a little harder. I can't quite seem to work out how to get rid of the feeds once I've read them. I tried the "help", but still can't do it.
I subscribed to the Powerhouse Museum's picture of the day, as well as some preset feeds from Bloglines including the Librarians' Internet Index and a comic of the day and joke of the day. I found a site which has free craft projects for kids, which I'll use as I'm co-ordinator of Storytime. I also subscribed to a few book & movie review feeds. I must admit, having 10 feeds for each site pop-up within seconds of validating my membership was a little daunting - though I did find something straight away that I could use.
Once I figure out how to manage the feeds, I'll be a lot happier.

Flickr

Week 3's lesson is really interesting. I've heard about online photo storage, but didn't realise how great it could be. While exploring, I found some photos of the new LibraryMuseum at Albury - here is a link to the west facing wall - people either love it or hate it http://www.flickr.com/photos/rickyjdog/944446587/

After watching the "Online photo storage in plain english" video, I wondered about the tags - mainly including things like family names to make it easier for friends and family to find. I guess it all depends on just how much info you want to share with the world.

Is there any control of sites like Flickr to ensure that no unsuitable material is made available to the public?

I tried uploading a couple of my photos, but will have to go through the tutorial to see where I'm going wrong. I also didn't have much success adding a photo to this blog. I obviously need to practice more.

Once I learn how to do these things properly, I can see myself using them much more.

Technorati

As part of Learning 2.0, I decided to do the "adventure" task and search for other library related blogs on Technorati.
You can really see the need for adding labels to your blog entries! I'm sure what I was looking for was there "somewhere", as I was looking for something that a friend found, but I obviously didn't have the right tags or labels to find it easily.
Now I'll be sure to add labels to my blogs - although trying to think of what people would commonly call something rather than using library terms can soemtimes be a bit of a challenge.

Learning 2.0

I'm really looking forward to discovering how to use all those programs that we quite often hear about and use once or twice, but don't really have the time to really learn how to use them properly. Mostly, when helping clients, I use the "try it and see method" - if it doesn't work, try soemthing else.

I can definately see a use for blogs in a library - what a great way to put up-to-date info out there without having to have special programs/permissions etc. to update a webpage.
