Hmm - frustrating half hour with Evernote - loaded okay and downloaded web clipper thing, but can't get the latter to work - I really don't have the time for all of this :-(...
later got the thing to work... hoping it will be a constructive tool to use as constantly coming across useful pieces of info and to gather them in one place would be great! :-)

Tried out Summify - tip I picked up whilst on online chat forum... it picks out the top 5 items from your blog / twitter lists etc and posts them to you each day... all very well... but couple of problems
1. Twitter especially has both social and work contacts - both treated equally by summify...should I have a separate work twitter account?
2. I don't know what I'm missing out on so still need to check!
On the plus side - I have very little time to read emails / RSS feeds etc at the moment so it has a limited use
It does highlight a problem though - the overlap of professional and personal aspects of my life and information! This was increasingly evident on twitter, but now also on facebook as I have 'liked' CDP23 and one of my work colleagues who is a facebook friend is posting links about QR codes. So, lunchtime giving myself a break from it all by checking facebook can backfire!

Hmm - really getting a bit behind here - it doesn't do to go on holiday; you have twice as much to do when you get home!
However, have 'liked' 23 Things on Facebook (not difficult...) and joined an online discussion yesterday evening (impressive...) A little disconcerting that the other 13 people seemed to know an awful lot more than me, but I picked up one useful tip to pursue. I found out about the discussion via Twitter - now Twitter has been the beginning of it all for me; it started my networking journey.

Have capitulated slightly (if that's possible!) and posted my photo onto my Twitter profile and yes! here too :-)

Ah! Twitter! Joined a while back and vaguely followed a couple of celebs...
then went to LILAC11 for a day, which rekindled my interest!
Followed LILAC tweets and it's spread from there - some really interesting links AND you don't have to trawl through masses of text to get to useful info - :-)

Thing 3
All very interesting and I can see that it is useful to personalise your presence locally in your own institution - library website / Moodle pages / Intranet etc. However, remain to be convinced about it's use for me personally in a wider context.

Day off at Wimbledon!
Tuesday was a day off this week; tickets for No.1 Court at Wimbledon :-) and it didn't rain!
Saw some good tennis and savoured the atmosphere
Three things you notice when you are actually there as opposed to watching on TV:
1 How incredibly compact the ground is
2 How well organised everything is - all the staff, events, facilities etc.
3 How light travels faster than sound if you are sitting at the back of a show court! You see the ball played and then hear the sound
