This is my first time writing a blog. I enjoy reading blogs when time and interest permits but have not ventured to write my own or comment on others. I am a pen and paper person. There are many days when writing has been my joy. This is a class assignment and thus I blog.
I subscribed to The Shifted Librarian: shifting libraries at the speed of byte feed. It has a catchy name and is relevant to my interest in libraries. There was a really interesting post by Jenny on Wednesday, February 18th, asking "Who Is Managing Your Online Identity?" This is a very important question as one can post and find a plethora of personal information online. I ask, “Who would want so much information available?” As a new SLIS student, I have been introduced to so many new “hot technologies” as our homework for this week described blogs, RSS, Podcasting and others. I only heard of Twitter in February. Jenny also had a really good post about Twitter on ALA. She offers advice in both posts. One piece of advice that she gives for managing online identity is to post what makes you comfortable and I can agree with that.
