Happy Me!
I finally got up and running with Pinterest. I have spent the whole day being taken away into different worlds of Pins! You could get lost out there. The visual side of this curation tool is wonderful - flowers, places, food so colourful. Will look forward to using this and making little board walks! Need to do this at home not at work though - tend to drift away!

Pinterest is great for libraries - especially to showcase new books - students love visual tools. Really like the Rudai Pinterest. It shows what a great tool it can be for training purposes.
Storyify is a nice clear, no clutter way of communicating information in a work setting. Flipboard looks a bit like an online newspaper - very clearly laid out - business like feel to it. Whereas, Pinterest has a magazine look to it. It would depend on your type of library audience and what messages you want to convey.
Blogging out,
Catty.

Podcasts - Rudai 7
I think podcasts are useful as a resource tool - perhaps historical audio rather than a library training tool. I read one blogger say that they were visual learners and found it difficult to keep listening. I feel much the same - my concentration tends to waver when sitting trying to keep listening. On saying that I did enjoy the Evil Librarians podcasts - the bit of humour and banter and casual talk about their professions was refreshing to listen to.
