RSS 2.0

I had some trouble setting up my feed. I typed in the URL then I clicked on subscribe and I thought it would automatically be there but it wasn't. I went to my e-mail to make sure of the verification. I still see no feeds under my folder. I will rework it.

Google 2.0

I looked at Google Maps especially the directions. This is extremely helpful for staff finding where to go for Outreach projects and also to direct the public to other libraries or places in Calgary that they are looking for. It is great for newcomers.
The prompting with the drop down menu when putting in an address is so helpful. The zoom gives whole new perspective. (I've also looked at Google Earth and found the perspective amazing). Iwould recommend both these sites to customers.

facebook 2.0

For me Facebook is useful. I keep in touch with friends that live in P.E.I. We don't see each other often and we don't write letters, so Facebook is perfect. Also I keep in touch with relatives that I don't see often. The photos albums are great. I used to spend more time on facebook when I first started, but now it is only to check in.

wiki 2.0

It is hard to find an obscure article in Wikipedia.
I edited an article on the community of Country Hills. The information already there was accurate and well- written. The City of Calgary entered the information.
