At 9:29am on December 16, 2008, Sandy Nicholls said…: Thanks-if you need help let me know. I've really learned a lot doing 2.1 and have shared sites with friends and coworkers. It's been a lot of fun and I've gotten to know some people via ning and facebook from Australia.

At 1:05pm on October 2, 2007, Jamie said…: Thanks for the note! Let me know if there's anything I can help you with ... I'm officially behind on the Things, but I can jump ahead and figure something out if I need to.

At 10:26pm on September 18, 2007, Aura Main said…: Yes, it took me a little while to get used to Ning. You will learn fast, I'm sure. I like the social network aspect which lets you communicate with other members and ask questions about specific exercises. You can join other networks. Somehow I got invitations to join the Learning 2.0 network. Jamie has been most helpful submitting her tips and suggestions. She has always taken the time to answer my messages. Good look with the Game Zone Blog. I maintain the Mint Hill Stitch In Blog which you can link from the mint hill page. Plaxo keeps me well informed and up to date about my son who is in the Air Force.

At 10:13am on September 18, 2007, Christie BW said…: Hi Aura - I've been wanting to do this for a while--it's all been about timing really. I hope to catch up to what you guys have been doing over the next couple of weeks. I'm also going to be taking over the Gameing Zone Blog from Natalie M. in Telephone Reference. We're going to try and hammer out how to do a calendar that is easier to maintain than the one that is on there now. Thx for the comment. I'm still fumbling around in Ning. What features about Ning to you like or dislike? I work at IRL. I'll definately check out Plaxo since you recommended it. I've been getting great use out of Zamzar with patrons. File conversion for printing is a great patron service.

At 3:16pm on September 17, 2007, Aura Main said…: Hi Christie - So glad to have you on board. I used to read your blog all the time when we did Learning 2.0. One of my favorite exercises so far is Plaxo. You might already know about it. I have found this site very useful. I work at Mint Hill Library.
