I have been using Pandora for a few years now and I think its a fantastic way to listen to some music while you are at work. Also I really like it because I don't own a radio anymore, come to think of it I don't know many people who do own radios. I really like the way that it introduces you to new artists that fit the style of music you have chosen and I really enjoy how it apologizes for playing stupid music. I also really enjoy Live365 because it introduced me to my absolute favorite thing in the world, World Soccer Daily, the brilliant and hilarious radio show that is all about everything soccer/football.

After looking at all of the options that were laid out for us I decided that I didn't want to "mashup my life". I really don't have that many services that I use and keep up with and I feel like setting up a page that combines them all takes away from their fun factor in the first place. If checking facebook and twitter separately really bothered with me then I wouldn't have both accounts in the first place. I can see how this would be helpful for someone with a massive amount of accounts on different sites but it just isn't for me. It would create more of a hassle than being helpful.

My favorite mashup by far was the "Wheel of Food". The biggest problem my friends and I have when we want to go out to eat is deciding where to go so I am most definitely going to use the "Wheel of Food" whenever that situation occurs. Brilliant. I looked at a few other mashups but overall I didn't feel that they were very useful.

I have always loathed the idea of scrapbooking but the idea of being able to do it online does make it much more appealing to me. I used Scrapblog and it was very very easy and totally self explanatory. I can see how this would be useful if a library wanted to scrapbook an event that had occurred at the library. I mean come on, all of the stickers and corny sayings are already assembled and I just have to upload my pictures into it? LETS GO!!!!

I was not able to download the screencast software onto the computer at work but I did watch the Jing tutorial and explore the website quite a bit. It seems like it would be very easy to use and the tutorials do a very good job of explaining the features of the website. I can see how this would be very useful if a person needed to create a presentation for a computer class. Otherwise I don't know when I would use it personally, but perhaps now that I have been introduced to this concept the occasion could arise.

for this thing i played around with Picnik which i found to be really fun and very easy to use once i got the hang of it. i can definitely see this being used in a library for a number of different projects, all of the fun stickers and fonts you can add would be very useful especially for the childrens librarian.
