Must stop this evening stuff! I'm sure the instructions were easier than I was reading, and re-reading (looked to be straight forward) - I must have been missing a link.
However, PBwiki has been duly played with, not with much enthusiasm though. Packed up my toys, and left the sandbox!

# 16 Wiki
A couple of blogs ago, I commented that Monday, Friday arvo, and the evening are not ideal times to be 2.0 'ing. Well here I am, mid evening,a saturday to make it worse.
The combined conditions are having me feel as though the names used for most of the tools are beginning to 'float' in a seasick making fashion! Wiki is feeling a bit wacky right at this moment.
The format appears to be really user friendly, and clearly laid out. Again, I'm not in to the amount of people, and how recently they have visited the site. Editing details would be watched closely I guess. Library Outreach Wiki and Library Technology Training Wiki both have detailed logs on activity and editing etc. The latter claims to be able to "create a classroom site in 60 seconds". Syllabus is available online, and students collaborate online.
Most libraries would benefit from using wiki in varied areas: Reference Desk queries, subject book lists to name just two. Wikipedia is very handy, and well used.

# 14 Technorati...
Something else to add to my list of new things to do on a rainy afternoon!
Blog posts, tags, and the Blog directory each have vastly different entry numbers, with Blog posts in the majority (this listing also has the easier highlight/browsing
capability.
The top 100 favourite blogs can lose you an hour very easily... from the misleading title of 'Boing Boing' at no. 1, to 'Blog for Money/Dummies Guide to Google Blogger Beta' at no. 50, and at no. 64 'Crooks and Liars' (with authority: 7,250).
Varied...mindboggling bloggers!

# 12 Rollyo
Way back when...the ideal would be, on a rainy (!!) afternoon, to curl up with a good book. My next rainy afternoon may see me back rediscovering Rollyo in more detail, as we're all finding that time is of the essence.
I've set up my account, had a good browse around the sites via the exercises, and set up my search role, using "womens health" as a topic.
My next browse was with Freephoto, then "Quick quotes", thinking I'd find one relating a quick quip about 'time'. However, I stopped at the following - Joan Rivers quote, posted on Sept 27, 2007, "The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it". Over and out.

# 10 More play, more Flickr
An example of art deco jewellery from desire to inspire which is full of craft artisans flickr experiences and work
# 10 Image Generator
How much fun is this!
Spent time having a browse through
The generator blog, Big Huge labs, and LETTER JAMES. Must admit I spent lots of time here!
LETTER JAMES and myAlphaPictures.com were quite new to me, but now I'm hooked.
# 6 Flickr fun
ME AND MY FRIEND FLICKRThis has been so much fun to do and play around with. The site : Diddles cartoon wunderland has work by an interesting artist, with plenty of variety of subject.
However, when I started looking around: desire to inspire (all lower case), time just got away. For ages I've been sourcing vintage and art deco jewellery styles, and here they are in all different forms. The pieces set with Swarovski crystal particularly caught my eye.... enough!
