Thing #11

So, for this portion I decided to have a look around the SEOmoz site showcasing the Web's best resources. I agree that many of these are good resources and am familiar with and use many including LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Etsy and Zillow. There were certainly many interesting resources that I may use, such as iStats Fitness to keep track of my workouts. However, one of my all-time favorites on this list is Pandora Radio.. This is one of the coolest applications ever. All I have to do is type in a particular band, and I get streaming music of that band or similar type music and/or bands right at my workstation. It's also how amazingly accurate Pandora is at linking up my faves with other bands out there that are similar.You can mix your "radio stations" and also share your lists with other users int he Pandora radio community.

I also looked around at some of the collaborative possibilities with Ning communities. I signed up for the Library 2.0, but also have been a member of the American Library Association Ning community for quite a while. I definitely see these types of communities as an effective way to learn from your peers, as a way to get the word out on professional development events, and learn about new technologies. If you don't find a network that fits your needsm you can always create your own. Imagine the possibilities of creating one specifically for CSM.
