Flickr

I went through task 9 Flickr's Discovery Resources. It's a lot reading. Found some interesting photos like this Parrot eating with hand.
What a clever bird.
Another photo I found is tagged with Web2.0 called 2.0 RLY
I also upload one pictures of my garden to Flickr and make it in sets Garden.

It sits next to Digital Service team & Cataloguing team beautifully.
Also add Manukaulearn to a group called Show us your Library 2.0!

Rollyo

I created an account on Rollyo, and also a search roll of my own My dictionary. At first it doesn't work after I linked to my blog. Then I found when you created your search roll the sites you add must be a URL. In other word it must start with "http://" not what we are used to "www."
I also tried some search rolls from other people. eg Girls dress up games etc. Some games allow you to upload your photo or anybody's picture so you can play with different hair style, makeups, clothes etc. Interesting.
The potential use of rollyo I think is huge. We often have customers asking books by samilar authors or particular themes or subjects. If we use rollyo on our blog or website it will make our work much easier and faster.

LibraryThing

My LibraryThing account is Freebirdworld LibraryThing
I've added 6 books to my library and tested "Blog widgets" and pasted the code to my blog. It looks so cool with books cover and title links on my blog.
When I tried LibraryThing Local, after I input Manukau, within 5 or 10 miles area, only City Centre came up. What happened to other branches. Don't they exist? I wonder where they get the original information. Auckland area libraries looks more reasonable.

More generator

Do you like my Studio Neon? It's flickering now. Thanks google help group to solve the problem. Today I got another job to show you. A free, first-class air ticket to Paris.

Tried LetterJames today. It doesn't work for me. Too slow.
I like FD Toys magazine cover generator. But needs a good resolution photo. Do you like my magazine cover?

The 3rd week

Now is generator time!
It's the most fun part of this training up to now I should say.
I tried 3D face generator. Put in one of my friends'name, age , gender & eye color etc. and after minutes or so I got an old guy who looks like 100-years-old with wrinkes all over the face. Of course I didn't tell my friend that's him.
Then I used Magnigraph to create a red, white parrot picture. The Old-style photo is really a good generator. I made children on our libray events photo look like they live in a 1920's countryside.
Then I found Animated Neon Sign So here is my work:
