Thing 6: Online Image Generators

This actitivity was fun. Again I am limited by the fact that I don't have any images to play around with. Amusing, but it might be difficult to use at my art library. Images (and design) can great weight around here and are not taken lightly. I am not sure that I have the expertise to be creating and promoting images within my institution. I will see where I might use these.

I thought Image Chef had the most possibilities

Thing 5: More with Flickr

post notes:

I still don't exactly see how mashups would benefit my library.
Some sites were nice and interesting (color picker, flickr graph) But it seems like these people have a lot of time on their hands! Big Huge Labs had a lot of fun ideas, but I haven't uploaded any picture, so I can't mess around with them much. Seriously, some of this seems like the biggest waste of time. I find it annoying.

I am still waiting to see how these could be used for education or promotion in my academic library. I will withhold judgement for 18 more things
