Thing #12- LibraryThing

I entered 5 books in my library. It was easy. I like the fact that you can see how popular is the book, if it has recommendations and reviews. I also find very useful to see what LibraryThing recommends and what other with same titles in their libraries are reading. One of the books that I have is How to Ruin a Summer Vacation by Elkeles, it has a rating of 3.6, 60,219 popularity. The list of members with my books is extensive.

Thing#9

I enjoyed this exercise. Flickrvision is very cool, especially 3D. Spell with flickr, I'm pretty sure that we can find a lot of uses for this tool. Under web applications, I can see teens and tweens using it to make CD covers. Now I know what mashups are.

Thing #8 Flickr

I opened an account but is private. I learned a lot more about what flickr offers. I liked the features; organizr, the guest pass and the make stuff. I search for Galicia, Spain and Puerto Rico. I enjoyed showing my husband were I used to live in Spain for a short time. At that time I didn't have a camera. I have very few pictures of Galicia.

Like I said before, I opened an account and invited close friends and family. It is very easy to upload pictures and tag them. Beside the link for the parrot photos, there is another photo about palma de Mallorca at flickr.com/photos/joserodmon/2148874336. It is beautiful architecture.

Thing # 21

The first time that I look for videos about Puerto Rico. I'm a puertoriquena therefore it was very precious for me to see a lot of very good videos about my island. I embedded one of them to my blog and used the options. It was very easy .

I also searched for libraries, books and book reviews. I found George Lopez for America's libraries. I think that videos like CBS News can be added to a library site. Also videos that pertain to the celebrations for the current month. I search for Black History Month and found several excellent videos.

Thing #22

I found Radio Book Lounge is very good. I heard to Rushdie's far off fairy tales. They interview authors. I also listenedto Naila Keleta Mae. Book Review Noise is also a very good podcast. I listened a review of The Bone Collector by Jeffery Deaver. I add to my Bloglines, Children of the Earth Podcast Series. I liked this podcast because you can listen to the children talking about their situation in life; how they have to work and the different jobs that they perform.
