23 Things: #12

Thing 12 completed. Rolled my own search tool for movie reviews. A couple of downsides I see to this resource:

• searching on websites that one includes in a search tool still results in too many false drops
• Rollyo's insertion of sponsored links in the middle of search results is a little off-putting.

23 Things: #10

Thing 10 completed. Listened to Helene Blowers' podcast. Explored The Generator Blog, Letter James, and FD Toys. Wow! Too much fun! Noticed the Framer tool in FD Toys and given my casual interest in philatelics was immediately attracted to it and created this image. (Original photo posted to Flickr as part of completing these 23 Things.)

23 Things: #9

Thing 9 completed. Signed up for a Twitter account and entered my first message of fewer than 140 characters. Read the Twitter blog post, A Guide to Twitter in Libraries, which was helpful, particularly the links to library Twitter accounts.

23 Things: #8

Thing 8 completed. Added an RSS feed from Jenny Levine's Shifted Librarian blog and while I was at it, added a feed from a library-related blog not included on the list: Sarah Houghton-Jan's Librarian in Black.

23 Things: #7

Thing 7 completed quite some time ago. I created a Bloglines RSS feed with Library Journal when they began delivering computer-book reviews through this medium rather than including them in their print issues.

23 Things: #6

Thing 6 completed. Reviewed libraries listed by InfoPeople. The annotation for Denver Public Library, "It's a cool site, but try and find a link to them [podcast stories and interviews] on their homepage!" has me puzzled. I had no trouble finding the podcast page which is linked from DPL Downloads in the nav bar on the homepage.
