Trading Card

Here is what I came up with after several hours of trial and error. Was trying to put in an actual picture rather than clip art, but it kept failing. So had to settle for clip art.

Interesting

Could use as a reward system. Different picture for level of accomplishment. Can turn in card for various gifts.

Or, card with book title and brief descripition for collecting to see how many books they read.

Just a few ideas I could think of many different things that this could be used for.

Any ideas you can think of?

Flickr The good the bad

As always I am the negative force. LOL (Laugh out Loud)

Flickr has some good features with nice pictures like:

You can see the joy in the children faces. This picture would give a parent the feeling that their child would enjoy something like this, and attend the next time.

However if you do a search for library on flickr you can end up with this:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/vanka/2138399331/

This is not good for libraries, it could be negative libraries.

You would have to be really careful on information you link. The good side and a bad side.

Whats your opinion?

RSS Feed

Looks like a quick way to get information.

But, also looks like a quick way to waste time. I am sorry, but trying to spend all that time reading different information from multiple areas could eat up a lot of time. Having it all in one place could save some time.

However, if I owned a busines with employees using this feature it would be blocked. Just setting it up took a lot longer than I would like to spend on something.

I am sorry but I can not see any advantage to RSS Feeds other than taking up time. If it was for educational items or how to fine, but just a lot of useless information that just looks neat I am not into. I hate "bells and whisles", in other words looks fancy does a lot, but no real use.

Again sorry about my opinion, but that is what I think about this and would not really get much involved with it.
