Week 3

I used Google Reader as my newsreader account and subscribed to a variety of websites, including that of my beloved Yankees. Other subscriptions include world news, sports (other than the Yankees), blogs from the VHS aka 23 Things, and possibly more which will be added in the future.

I found Topix.net and sydic8.com useful in this process.

Flickr

I must admit that I have never used Flickr prior to this excercise, or for that matter blogged before. However, I can see how this can be a useful tool not only for the VHS, but for other institutions throughout Virginia. 

As for flicker I did like the setup and the clean look to the web page, the photo profile and comment section, and found the tag feature very useful. I can also see this as a feature that could bring recognition to the VHS from far and near. 

Overall, I was much impressed by Flickr, and who knows the Great Bambino may need a Flickr account afterall.

My first blog
