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.

Thing 7. Content Saving & Sharing
Pinterest is an easy one. I've got it both on my iphone and ipad. It passes the time and I've used it to make collections for ideas mostly personal. I have used it to save lists of books that I really enjoy or ones that I might want to read. I've included a screenshot from my phone to show you an example of my lists.
Thing 6. Creating and Editing
I first tried to download the Cloud On app but because I'm working with a first generation Ipad, my I don't have a compatible operating system. I then went to QuickOffice and that installed fine with my older operating system. I was able to install it fine and even had been working on a document that I decided to add to my google drive so I can view it as a pdf but to actually edit it, I needed to ALSO install google drive. I went to install the google drive and it needed the higher operation system that I can't install.
I did play around with it and I could access my google drive but could only open it as a pdf. I opened it and copied the document and pasted it into a new document which I could save on my ipad. It's not ideal but I could work with it.

Thing 5. Notetaking
Ok, I'll come back to this and hopefully I can get this completed before June 15th as I want to win a PRIZE !!! :-)
Interestingly enough, this thing includes the notetaking apps. I've explored these before. I've got the first two already on my ipad. Although, I just received an email that says that SpringPad is ending. Thankfully, I don't really use it. SpringPad is recommending migrating to Evernote. I also have an account there too but I rarely use it.

thing 4 - 23 mobile things - Keeping Up
I have both Flipboard and Zite on my ipad. I like them both really well.
With Flipboard, I haven't yet set up an account so I'm limited on what I can include on that. I go with the canned posts from Oddity Central, Hello Giggles, Soul Pancake and Open Culture. I wonder if I actually broke down and set up an account if I could customize it more?
I set up Zite on my iphone as well as on my ipad. I enjoy reading on various topics there. It does make me wonder how they select the posts that I do see. I have noticed the trends on my "top stories" page. I like that I can tell them that I want more of something or less of something. Most recently, I've included a section for New Zealand as I hope to travel there for a study abroad experience in about a year.
