Event Manager

I loved these tools - particularly Doodle. It would be a great way to efficiently organise meetings for a group of people, without endless e-mails. I also liked the Google calendar, which I have set up for myself.

Productivity: more ways with RSS

I really enjoyed this section and found it very useful. I have a google reader that I don't check as much as I'd like and when I do there are sometimes just too many articles to read through. The filters are great in making the information sent to your reader much more specific and personal.

I also set up a couple of alerts for "nowra libraries" and "shoalhaven libraries" and it was interesting, and heartening, to see where we've been mentioned.

Nings

I have just joined Library 2.0 and am waiting to hear from the administrator.

I love Mosman Readers - what a great idea. I think it's a fantastic tool for creating a library community for those who maybe aren't always able to access the library physically. I like the idea of reading others book reviews and it's also a great area to find out about what's happening at the library.

I will join some other networks once I hear back from the Library 2.0 administrator.

Evaluation

I found this an interesting week as it's great to see that with free tools you are able to look at usage of your sites, blogs, etc ... and also gain insight into how to make improvements.

I have set up a google feedburner to look at statistics for my blog - not suprisingly no followers, but what I expected. In a work environment though these would all be useful tools. Click here to see my feedburner results!
