I took some time yesterday to browse Stephen Abram's list of "43 Things I might want to do this year", from Information Outlook.
While the popular 43 Things site contains a broad range of "things" people want to accomplish, Abram's article is specifically focused on technology.
Most of the things on his list I'm already familiar with. I'll admit that I am of the Facebook generation and I first used Flickr several years ago. I'm typing this blog post through the Firefox browser. But a few items on his list of 43 things stumped me, such as"15. Get a PubSub account and start searching the future" and "23. Play with Blinkx and learn about searching TV shows, video and podcasts."
So if I "already know this stuff" then why am I spending time doing the Nebraska Learns 2.0 program? Well, even though I've been using these types of things in my personal life for years, I'm trying to figure out how libraries can use them. I've seen some good examples in the past but I always wonder if they will work here because of our library's size. Stay tuned.
