23 mobile things #8

I do use Facebook regularly(personal account only) and Twitter some to follow more professional topics.  I have tried other socia media apps listed, but didn't find a practical use for them.  I did try Cloze and Hootsuite, but felt there was no real advantage over opening the actual apps.  It is probably because I don't have an overwhelming number of friends or people I am following that I need to reorganize how they are displayed.  I don't think I will keep anything from this thing.

23 Mobile Things #7

I have used Pintrest for a while, so I decided to check out Bitly.  However, after reading the start up guide and watching the video,I didn't even download it.   I just couldn't envision what Iwould use it for.

Instead Iwent back to read the Pintrest information.  I have used Pintrest to collet library related things and lesson ideas, but looking through how other librarians are using Pintrest gave me more ideas.  I started thinking of it not just as a warehouse for my information, but also as an intentional watto share stuff with patrons, staff, and students.  Now just to limit the time I spend on it so I still get other things done.

23 mobile things #6

I tried cloud on, which seemed to integrate all my stuff pretty well.  I am like most people in the world of technology, I have stuff all over the internet and my devices, and promise to clean it all up next summer or Christmas vacation.  Once all my accounts were set up, I can access my stuff from one place.  Now to get it on all my devices and use it!
