I just realized I have 2 weeks left to finish this and I just crossed the half way mark. It probably would have been easier to have kept up and did each one as they were released but unfortunately time didn't allow for that, But I still have a chance of crossing the finish line in time and if not it was still fun trying (and a bit frustrating at times).
My congrats to everyone who already finished...see you at the end.

17 1/2 ???
Facebook should have been a full number...
I explored facebook it is OK but I had a lot of trouble using Myspace and it seems so much easier to use...Sorry to all my friends who have facebook and who are excited that I am now a member because I will not be using it much.
As for some to the top ten facebook applications
IRead...I read do you???
I think Queens customers will LOVE this...readers like to see what others are reading and more importantly what they think about what they are reading.
Librarian
This one looks like it might be useful for ready reference type questions...Did I just date myself by using the term Ready Reference...I haven't heard that in a LONG time.
MyFlicker
This one is another one that our customers would like...this would be a good one for a library facebook page. We could link to community picture and library pictures.
Slideshare
This looks like it would be another one that would be good for a library page...we could post PowerPoint presentations for staff as well as customers (like the Exit Project Video)
LOL Cats
This is probably a very very popular application. Everyone puts the cute kitties on their sites, e-mails etc. Kids, tweens, teens and adults will love this one.
Libguides
I don't think this one will be LOVE my our customers...some people will defiantly find it useful but I don't see customers using it often.
Del.icio.us
This one I will have to get back to you one since I skipped this as part of the original 23 1/2 things and still need to go back to it.

Giving up on posting on a wiki...for now at least.
On my next attempt I got the following message...Anyone have a suggestion. I can't set up an account because Queens Library's IP address is blacklisted. Shame since I finally found something I wanted to post...maybe another day.

I tried to make post on Wikipedia but I got the following error message. I guess all our kids have been busy! I'll just have to try another wiki...very disappointing.

Wiki --- Wiki
The library wikis are very intresting. I can see customers really enjoying looking and adding to many of these. they could be used to create book lists as well as synopisis/reviews of books. I would really like to see this on our website, I really think it would be a welcomed addition for our internet savy readers.
SJCPL Subject Guides had a lot of usefull information but just seems like a dull site. I felt the same way about the Library Sucess wiki, good info but not very exciting. I enjoyed the book lovers wiki much better. How could you not love a site that has this as the fitured review???
Flushed: How the Plumber Saved Civilization by W. Hodding Carter
What can I possibly say? If ever there was a book that provided "too much information" W. Hodding Carter's fascinating book, Flushed: how the plumber saved civilization, fits that description! Everything you wanted (or in some cases) didn't want to know about the history of toilets and plumbing can be found in this book. After reading a few pages I was hooked on Carter's style, wit and insight to a topic that I never gave much thought to yet appreciate on a daily basis. And just think of the endless dinner conversation it will provide: from why do people shake hands with their right hand to explaining Roman latrines were set up for conversation. It's not a waste...read the book! Recommended. Reviewed by Dan Bauer.
I requested the book we will see if it is as good as the review suggested!!! This type of thing was actually more of what I expected from a library wiki.

Rolie Pollie Ollie...Rollyo
Sorry I had to every time I read the word Rollyo, Rollie Pollie Ollie comes to mind.
OK this was another easy one but I think I will need to go back and make a new more useful search roll. I made one with all of the sites I uses to review romance books. It seamed to be easy since the list wasn't to long, but I don't know how often I will use this search roll. For learning it was useful.
This is a GREAT site. I can see how it will save a lot of time looking up information on common and frequently asked topics. Easy to use, but once I made the search roll I had a little trouble finding it but not much now that I know where to look I will be making some new searches very soon!

Skipping around again...but I know this one!!!
Youtube
Finally one I know and can do with absolutely no problem...I am a very happy librarian!!! Can you tell I am excited about finally knowing one of the 23 1/2 things?
I learned youtube a while back when friends started sending me e-mails with links to the site. Crazy bride cutting her hair moments before her wedding and others which where much more entertaining. Then I heard people talking at the firehouse where I volunteer and surprise surprise the Firehouse has videos on youtube. Some of our guys have been taping themselves while on their way to calls. I also see a new one has been posted on youtube of our last drill. I included the link to the newest of our videos (thanks to our LT for posting these) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Zkar0Ty-M
Enough about the firehouse...I see this being very useful to libraries. Libraries can tape programs and put snips of them on the website so people can see what programs are available it would also be helpful for people who don't understand what a program is from the description (i know that has happened to me) they can watch a minute or so of the program for a better idea of what they will be getting by attending the actual program.
