thing 4

I liked this activity a little better, I do enjoy reading info from my favorite "people" so this was useful. I was not able to subscribe through the blogger or tech site so I just went directly to the websites I enjoy and subscribed through there.
However much I like or dislike these activities, there is still a little voice inside my head that tells me my time would be better served reading Allie Finkle #4 or Chains rather than the blogs about these books. I would rather honestly tell a patron that yes, I read this book or that one and give my opinion in person to that patron, rather than blogging about it.
Maybe I am still to old school for this new tech era. I will keep trying with an open mind.

I did not like techorati, first, it locked me up several times. Then, when I asked for blogs from certain authors, it gave me blogs about the authors or their books but not in a format I was interested in.
I then did a google blog search and I liked it better. It still did not bring up the author's personal blogs, (which is what i was hoping for) but the results were more interesting. There were blogs from book stores and other book bloggers. The info on those blogs seemed more interesting.
I am still trying to wrap my head around this reading blogs thing. I just like to read blogs from famous authors or famous people. Or I like to read blogs of people I know. Reading just random blogs from strangers is just not my thing. But I will keep trying to figure this out.

we need to do more to connect with our patrons and if learing how to blog or use myspace is the answer, then we should try and learn.

i am tech challenged, this should be an interesting experience.
