Delicious is a web server that acts as 'Favorites' on the internet, saving the users favouite/ tagged websites so they can be accessed from anywhere not just on from the one computer.
It was easy to tag and link other library student blogs to Delicious and I could see how it can be useful to use in a library situation. This internet tool could enable a library to collect and store web sites that could use for the library clients and or the employees of the library, due to it being simple and visually pleasing to use.

Flickr
Flickr is really easy to use most of the time, there were a few miner hic-ups as I started to use the site, but it is to see what I did wrong and fix it.
The big problem for me was a faulty digital camera and USB cable that prevented me to up load quickly and efficiently.

Google Reader and RSS Feeds
Google Reader is a gadget that is an attachment that records and archives, RSS Feeds that you 'subscribe' to the blog and are able to access the latest posts from that particular blog without having to search for the blog again on the internet
What do you like about RSS & newsreaders?
I really like RSS's because they're simple to use and understand, plus there is a huge range of different types of blogs and websites that have RSS feed attachments.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your personal life?
I currently use RSS feeds to keep updated on my favourite blogs, web stories and comics, as well as the blog my friend made while she was away over seas (she took it down as soon as she got home).
How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this technology?
This is a great way for inter-libraries to see what is going on within their communities. It could be a good way to link clients to useful sites and blogs outside of the library.
