Google Docs do indeed rock

Four easy steps to using google docs:
1. Create document in Microsoft Word about ideas for a program at our library
2. Upload document to google docs, publish document
3. Email coworkers to view/edit document
4. Coworker Katie views and edits document

As Katie says, "totally cool, man."

IM - round 2

Yeah- success! I managed to chat (IM) with my coworker Katie. Yes, she was at another computer only 2 feet away from me, but who cares?
I can absolutely see how IM would be (or in some cases already is) useful in libraries: e.g. 24/7 reference.

I figured out how to add the meebo widget to my blog... unfortunately, I was only able to get it at the very bottom. Next step is moving it to a more visible location

IMing- is that even a word?

Hmm- My first attempt at IMing someone? Not so much... I guess I can't expect anyone of my colleagues who aren't at work to be online on a Saturday afternoon. I'll have to give it a try next week. Since I already have a Gmail account, it seems to make the most sense for me to use Goggle Talk. I'm taking the advice of my younger, hipper, co-worker Emily and sticking with Google.
