Thing 10. Sharing Photos

So I've often shared photos on FB so I'm not so sure about this instagram. I'm not following too many people there because frankly, there's not enough people I want to follow on there yet. This does encourage me to want to get my library's FB account active and I could use it to promote various books, that might include reviews. I couldn't help but want to know more how instagram might be used in libraries so of course, I googled it. I found this posting that is a bit old but it gave me some additional ideas.

I might use it.

Thing 8. Social Media Management Tools

I feel pretty good about the social media platforms that I use these days. I've got a twitter account, have been on FB for what seems like forever! I'm on linkedin and google+ but I haven't used any of the management tools. I think I'm just pretty skeptical about privacy. I don't really want to link any of my other accounts to each other. Is that weird?

I feel like as far as the ones I've used, I'm using them the way I want to. I don't use twitter much, google+ has really dropped off. I only use linkedin professionally so I'm not on there much. FB is really my go to social media tool.

I wonder if that makes me old? :-)

Thing 9 Taking & Editing Photos

I downloaded the LINE camera. I pulled up a picture of my sisters and I and just added the word "Sisters".   I haven't used many of the editing software apps much. It seems like I could really enjoy it if I got to use it well. It seems the learning curve is too high for my level of patience in learning it, IMHO.  I like to learn things NOW.  I've attached a collage picture of a recent trip with my sisters.
