On the whole I have enjoyed the web 2.0 experience. It is frustrating not being able to get access (i.e. we have ONE computer in the whole of the workroom that has internet access) and then when you do get access it is sooooooo slooooowww!
But, being given the opportunity to look at these sites is an advantage in so many ways.

Week 6: Facebook
Well, what can I say! Thought I would be totally anti Facebook, but no!!! It's really great! The thing I need most now to continue using facebook, is time, which I don't have enough of anyway.
It's absolutely amazing how many people I have found on facebook that I already know.
As there is virtually no cost involved in facebook, it would be a great way to stay in touch with overseas acquaintances and family. The days of keeping in touch by mail are certainly numbered.
The age range of customers at Pakuranga Library using Facebook on a regular basis are very varied, from the young to quite elderly. So it is obviously a tool that is very user friendly.
I have had a quick browse of the Auckland University Library site and found it to be easy to use with all the basic options easily accessible. Not over powering and having to really search for the information you require.
Christchurch Library's home page is really interesting. They have their own Blog site and obviously keep it updated. The content is very local which will be very attractive for their users.

Week 5: Music files and mp3s
I have had a look at a couple of the Music files and mp3 websites and can understand the interest that millions of people have in these sites!! For the life of me I cannot see how the sale of CD's will not just be a thing of the past in the very near future!
I went on to the 'GarageBand' website http://garageband.com/ but did not find this as easy to use as the Amazon site.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-music-track&field-keywords=blue+are+her+eyes
Amazon MP3 offers millions of songs and albums all in MP3 format.
Most songs are between $0.89 and $0.99, and most albums are between $5.99 and $9.99.
