This morning I played around with Rollyo and created a reference search engine, then completed a few searches using the search engine. It was good and I can see great possibilities for this. It would be great for researchers and it would have a great potential for use on a narrow subject like medieval history or ornithology.
Next I checked on my Twitter account, still no responses. True I did not select many friends. Today I did a search for library, hoping to find someone I know who is also taking the 23 Thing Challenge. This was a great experience because I came up with over 260 results. Most of these were libraries, but there were a few individuals.
Something else is becoming clear to me. Quite a lot of time needs to be committed to these sites in order to understand how they work, how they can be used and special aspects and tools that are offered. I plan to go back and check on all the accounts that I've set up and take the time to explore each one in more depth. Time is the big factor and it's not always easy to give it.
It has been a little slow this morning so I presses on to #13, social bookmarking and del.icio.us. after the Gen Tech workshop I checked out del.icio.us. I liked it and thought I would revisit it later. So I went into this one with a little more knowledge. I set up an account and moved twelve items from my favorites to the account. #12 & #13 are completed.
