Adorable tech features from some of my favorite sites
I know some libraries are incorporating things like this into their catalogs and web sites. Still, I want to share some nifty tech things I’ve seen on the web that not only show how these technologies are making their way into mainstream use, but could maybe, possibly, be incorporated into a library, somehow. If you’ve got ideas, or if you’re doing stuff like this, let me know, I love to hear from you.
Target.com: You can get highlights from the weekly ads, which can be viewed on their site at http://weeklyad.target.com, before Sunday through an RSS feed.
FoodTV.com: Some recipes (like this Tyler Florence Chicken Noodle Soup recipe) now have an option to send the grocery list for the recipe to your SprintPCS phone via a cute little yellow and black button. (Dear Catalog Vendors: could you add a button to the “My Saved List” page that sends the titles with call numbers to a cell phone, so that patrons don’t hafta write them down? That would be nifty. Love, Andrea)
Livejournal.com: The new My LJ portal is quite nifty, consolidating many features (recent comments, friend entries, friend birthdays, recent updates from the system, a quick entry form) on one page. Members with pay accounts can do more, apparently.
