Might of Many a game in Facebook and other applications like the starbucks application and more. How can groups reach out to more folks and share information?
Shelfari - I am building a new bookshelf in there and figuring out which one I like, that compared to library thing, compared to iRead (facebook app.) to book swap or crossing. I am leaning toward Shelfari, most user friendly and I actually am connect with some folks I reached out to already.
Microblogging - checking out Plurk in comparison to Twitter, which I am using and heavily relying on to interact with folks and it has made me feel closer to my co-workers that are ids's at U.P.
Adobe Air - I am using twhirl to stay connect with my Twitter flock. Also, I just started using snackr. I was able to import my opml file from google reader, so I have just been still linking my links in google reader, so I can use google reader on the road and share out the feeds, if I have to. I am not sure if I like snackr, it makes my screen way busy. It is almost like the digital disorder sticker I created for Learning Design Summer Camp.
Stickers - made a few for Learning Design Summer Camp, but only uploaded my digital disorder sticker. I am looking forward to and have to finalize my travel to Learning Design Summer Camp. The group seems like it will become an active group. It is exciting. And the group is using the PSU wiki project to communicate and share things and also Twitter. I learned about it through a twitter feed.
I am maintaining my current pix in flickr. I am maintaining my links in del.icio.us, which was way hard to get into, now I love. And I used del.icio.us and feeds to build a links page for a faculty member, now all she needs to do is insert a link in del.icio.us with the right tags for it to show up in her links page. Yay!
Social Networks - Trying to stay up to date and active in some ning networks and in facebook, so I am actually using myspace way less. And I am still lost with Linked in.
Pandora Radio - is a music genome project. It is way cool and I can program in music which interests me and then it plays music similar or in the likeness of what I declare is my favorites. It is so way cool. I am really loving it!
FriendFeed, someone mentioned in twitter and I looked it up and I have created an account and went in and officially updated it and will try to play with it a bit more and more consciously.
I am also currently checking out and getting on track with my workouts using nike +, which I already uploaded information about in my previous post.
My cousin created a network in Reverbnation, so I am playing with that and keeping up to date on what they are doing and listened to their latest song there.
I also explored digital rodeo a bit a social networking site for folks like me who like country music.
Finally, I joined a reading group, that I discovered through Twitter with other psu co-workers and we will discuss Everything is Miscellaneous by David Weinberger.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with Matt from Digital Commons, so I am excited to hopefully begin the steps to get on board with that project. We have bought a lot of pieces of technology to begin moving in that direction.
Then I am off and training the library cms tomorrow at Berks and Thursday at Wilkes-Barre.
Then Back to go to Blob Ball on Friday night, which there is a scene in the original Blob movie that was filmed at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville and each year they have a festival to celebrate that event. The Rivers of Rockabilly are playing and I will finally after about two weeks be able to dust off my jitterbug dance shoes and go and dance. And oh yeah they do have a blog and they do have several videos on youtube.
