Thing 37 - Photo Tales (slide.com)
My Goodness!!! This one makes a nice slide show, but I had added a song to it and there is no where to stop it. It just continuously looped and wouldn't stop. I like it a lot, but what to do with the noise?
Thing 37 - Photo Tales
I love the Things I already know about. I have worked with Animoto before. It is a fun easy way to share photos. You only send a link to people in emails, you don't have to send emails with attachments. Makes it easy to send photos to mom (who still has dial-up internet access). Animoto is so easy to embed on your blog or facebook. Give it a try.
Thing 36.3 - More FUN!! (Toon Doo)
I have been having problems with the Toon Doo in my blog. It showed up fine last night, but now when I try to view it all I see is a blank box. In preview it looks fine, but just regular view. I will mess with it some more and see what happens.
Web 2.0 Tools
I was turned on to this site by a colleague. It is a comprehensive list of Web 2.0 tools. Check it out, it is pretty overwhelming. This website could be called 230 (plus more) Things on a Stick. I am pretty proud of myself. I am pretty familiar with a lot of them, thanks to 23 Things on a Stick, More Things on a Stick and my personal knowledge quest.
If the links are not working be sure to visit http://www.go2web20.net/.
THING 36 - Have some fun.
This site is pretty cool. This is from Glass Giant. There are different generators that will make fun things. Just a note, the prom make over was stupid. I tried it with 2 different photos and all it did was put a paper bag over the face. It was kind of disappointing, I thought it would actually apply make up or something.
I liked the fake newspaper page generator. I used this slide in my daily announcements on the TV as a reminder to students to return library books.
This is from an email icon generator

Thing 35 - Books 2.0
Wow!!! I love this Thing. I signed up for Library Thing the first go around, so I am already familiar with it. One interesting thing about Library Thing is GRRL (Great River Regional Library) uses Library Thing in its card catalog. When you search a book and click on it for the description and information, you also see tags from Library Thing. I haven't logged into Library Thing since 23 Things on a Stick. I also signed up for Shelfari, it is basically the same as Library Thing. I do like the look of Shelfari better. Facebook also has similar applications, you can add books to your profile and join reading groups or become a fan of authors too. I really loved What's Next too. I tagged it in Delicious and plan on using it frequently. Working at a school library, a lot of my readers are looking for series and the next book in the series. What's Next is perfect for that. I also signed up for Overbooked, the Ning for books. We will see. Once again, my never ending dilemma....not enough hours in the day.
