There were several tools I have used personally in the past that I might try to integrate more into work, like Bloglines and Flickr

Sure!

How could we have made this experience better?
I don't really have any complaints. I thought it was very well organized, very informative and beneficial.
Thanks to the Catch 23 Group for all your work!!

Thing 22 Podcasts

Checked out a few different podcasts. I can see how it would be a great "thing" to enjoy on my new iPod...when I get one.
Would be great to take along on drives, walks, paddling.
I have never created a pod cast but think that would be a great PR "thing" for the library.

Too Close for Comfort

Thing 21 You Tube Goes Riff Ram Bah Zoo

I was amazed by the number of YouTube videos from TCU, but YouTube is a constant amazement, growing at such a phenominal speed, and gathering such a huge following.
It seems like a great venue for many artists, enteratainers and causes. Fun and informative.

One of my favorites from TCU.... Something to Think About...

Thing 20 A goose goose here and a goose goose there... Google Maps and Google Earth

I did the "Thing" with TCU on Google maps. Like being able to post the interactive map directly to my blog!Very cool!
I have always enjoyed playing with Google Earth. Since I have been out at Benbrook lake a lot lately, I decided to check it out with Google Earth. Shows me what a small portion I actually cover in my kayak. Gave me ideas for new areas to explore.
Also looked at a few places where I used to paddle on the Big Island. I like that people can upload their own pictures. Really a fun tool!!!

Thing 17 Wiki

Checked out the 5 wikis. Thought WikiTravel and WikiSource were both very cool. Both have a lot of valuable information in an easy to use format, easy to search anyway. I liked a lot of the features in WikiTravel.

Thing 16 LibraryThing

I really enjoyed creating My Library in LibraryThing, then enjoyed checking out other people's libraries. It's kind of fun to see who's reading the books I like and what else they are reading.

Thing 15 Technorati

Watched the video "How I Use Technorati. Did the keyword search for "learning 2.0". I also checked out popular blogs in Blog Central. Lots of cool stuff to browse!And that's all I have to say about that...

Thing 14 Del.icio.us

I watched the "Social Bookmarking in Plain English" video, browsed around Delicious a while and found some interesting stuff. I enjoyed checking out some other peoples bookmarks. Don't know if I will use this much....on to other things.
