fourth post - wikis

An intranet wiki could be a great way for us to manage and develop our procedures manual.
An open wiki would be a great way for us to get involvement in readers suggestions, reviews and requests for purchase.  
 I think I'm attracted to the collaborative approach of wikis rather than the backchat response to blogs.

third post

Looking at RSS feeds.
Sounds like a great tool and I'm looking forward to receiving an alert to show it works.  How come, if it's such a great tool for keeping abreast of breaking news more web sites don't seem to include access to the RSS feature (ie  the organisation I work for)? 

Question:  How come developers of on-line training programs and taxi meters use such different time measuring systems?  15 minutes for one is a very different length of time to the other.

second post for Learning 2.0

Our library lacks the luxury of air conditioning.  During summer our staff get very hot especially when working hard at re-shelving.  As a result the dress code gets rather casual as you can see in this photo click here

first post for Learning 2.0

Well, with a bit of practice i may get comfortable with blogging.

I've been a lifelong advocate for Lifelong learning.  (Do we really need a catch phrase for this as if it's a new phenomena?) For some reason posting a blog takes me out of my comfort zone (so it must be good for me, right?)
The blogs I mostly come across are those I find on the web when searching for help with car maintenance.  I like the relaxed way anyone can get, and offer help.  (Take it or leave it).

We've tried blogs within the library but there is still reluctance to use them.  I think we'd just rather have a real conversation.  I would.  I have a feeling it's about personality -  Blogging captures some of us, others don't see the appeal.  Perhaps it depends on how fast you can type?

If you can bear another peep-show video you may enjoy this:
