Web 2.0 Continued

Two web 2.0 applications that I like are Yelp, and Docstoc.

Yelp is a great tool to help you decide on what new restaurant to visit, or which stores to look out for. I really like that you can rate Public Services & Government, Health/medical, and all kinds of Businesses.

With Docstoc you can upload, or download all kinds of documents. They have Legal, Business, Tech and Educational. I'm sure a lot of OCLS member's would like to know about this.

Community Connection

I think OCLS is really living up to the mission statement. From Social to educational, the programs provided are great. As an entrepreneur myself I really like the "know your business" section.

open source Technology

Until a couple of years ago, technology was used to make OCLS more efficient. Technology is used in many capacities from handling our member’s records to claims returns. Right now we are using technology to create new software and exciting programs. We are moving in a good direction with our online classes. Because the classes are live instead of pre-recorded you can not only take classes, but interact with others as the class is going on. Our YouTube and MySpace pages are adding toward our goals as well. We have the capacity and innovative thinking to keep pace, and I see us expanding with more open source technology in the future.

Healthy inside and out

Out of the health websites I looked at, the Wii Fit game will help me the most. It's the only thing I could see myself doing every day. If I wasn't broke I would go out and buy one tomorrow.

It's that time again. I'm hoping to learn new skills that wasn't put into the last course.

So you have a new mp3 player?

I think I'm going to put some music, and books on it. I can get some of my favorite author's books cheaper than if I bought the physical copy in a store, or for free from OCLS catalogue.
