RSS & Feed Readers Thing2 : Its a good idea to start carrying headphones by this step--there's an informative video for this Thing 2 that has sound.
Social Networking Thing4: I had misgivings about the entire concept of Social Networking. I'm concerned about privacy issues and don't surf or spend this quantity of time online. I want to be sure I can erase all this if needed when the Ten Thing project is over. I didn't realize you had to had to get e-mail addresses for people already signed onto MySpace to add them to your Friends list, but perhaps I should, given my concerns, find this reassuring.
For those of us without digital cameras or photos on CD, perhaps a link to the Grapevine or a human resource site might be provided so we could download a photo to paste. Setting up a MySpace account is farely painless, but adding a friend to MySpace is not as simple as the video claims in skokie10 instructions claims. The site keeps asking to re-verify my e-mail address.
Flickr & Photo Sharing Thing 5: For those of us without digital cameras or photos on CD, perhaps a link to the Grapevine or a human resource site might be provided so we could download a photo to paste. (Copy & Paste--gotta love it.)
Podcasting Thing7: Not there yet, just bumbled through Thing4, but an idea came to mind. Once we're on this step online, can we load a music cd into the D drive, and "insert" this music into the exercise? I'm hazy on the technicalities, but wanted to ask, as I came across a song pertinent to the Library's mission.

Hi Bill. Thanks for your questions! Here are some answers:
Things 4 & 5: We have digital cameras available for staff to use if you would like to snap some photos to upload to MySpace or Flickr. See me, Toby, Rich, or Jenn to check one out.
Regarding a link to the Grapevine, those pictures are already embedded in a document, so it would take a few steps to extract a photo for you to upload to MySpace. If there is a Grapevine photo you'd like to use, check with Abbey to see if she can direct you to a copy of the photo.
If you wish to use your photo from the Intranet Staff Directory, you can easily save the photo to your computer and then upload it to your MySpace account. If necessary, ask a co-worker, your department liaison, or one of the 10 Things Team to help you do that.
Thing 7: Music CDs are protected by copyright laws. Their contents cannot legally be made into a podcast unless the person making the podcast is the owner of the copyright, has permission from the copyright owner to use the content in a podcast, or the content is shared under a Creative Commons license that allows the music to be shared, remixed, or reused.
Thanks again for asking your questions, Bill... they're all good ones!
Thanks.
I stand corrected. Your "Getting Started" page clearly advises us to get headphones before beginning the first Thing.
