I have worked with ELM many times. I have gone to workshops that they have put on. It is a wonderful site to find anything you need. Great for students working on papers for school. Or just to find information in general. I use this site from time to time. It is great!

I think this would be wonderful for teachers and students. Help get everything organized and keep track of the timeline for when it is due. I would pass this information on to my daughter in college. I think she would love it. I also, think you could use this in the Public libraries, alot of students and teachers use the Public libraries as well as the school libraries. I will come back look at this again.

I am not very good at games on-line or video games. So this one was hard for me. I did set up an account on Second Life and walked around for a while. Just trying to walk around was hard for me. It took a while to down load it on my computer and was very slow as I was in the game. I am not sure how this would work in libraries. I hope to come back to this again and see if I can get it to work better for me.

I set up an account on LibraryThing. I did a little exploreing through the site. I could see where this would be a wonderful site for librarians and avid readers. I may go back to this site and look at it more after my 23 Things are done and add more to my account.

I set up an iGoogle page, and My Yahoo page, and also PageFlakes. They are all very similar. I do go to the iGoogle page ever day and the My Yahoo page from time to time. It is nice to have everything that you want on one page. I also go to PageFlakes about once a week. I do not think I will make any of these my home page.
I do like the calendar tools. I have a calendar set up on my Yahoo page with Birthdays on it and it sends me an email when a Birthday is coming up in a few days and also the day of the Birthday. I tried the To Da List and Remember Milk list tools. They were very easy and great tools, but I am a paper and pen person, with lists in my purse and at home on the counter and also sticky notes around my desk. For me it is easier to grab a pen and paper and quick write a note, then to go to the site and have to enter it in. I guess it would be something I could try. Backpack was fun to go through and could really be a great place to keep everything you need for an event, trip, meeting, etc.
I tried 30 Boxes, I thought it was too confusing. Also, looked at Stikkit. I have used Zamzar and this is an easy way to transform you files, worksheets, from one format to another.
This was a fun and educational Thing to do.

I went to all four of these sights and read some of the articles. I also did the tours/intro for all four of them. I set up accounts in all four also. It is a very fast and easy way to see what the top stories are for the day. Also, if you have favorite things you like to keep up with, you can customize your personal page on the sites and look up articles/news on your favorite topics, etc. I think this would be a good tool for libraries to have. Students need to write a report on the current events, they just go to one of these sights and it is right there for them to read and write a report about it.
I may use these sights from time to time. They have alot of information on one website, and it can be personalized for each indiviuals likes.
