I haven't really thought about evaluation of my own blog since I almost stopped to write anything on it and didn't care about it any more.
I reckon I got a bad name for URL. It's poetic but hardly is searchable from google, unless it's known beforehand.
Some sites that I have blog with that actually have build-in stats. That means I don't need to set up anything to find how many times a particular post is reviewed. However it's very important for a library to analyzis and review how their website goes and make up more beautifully.
Free online survey tool is very useful, like survey monkey.
I did subscribe feedburner and it's not hard to use. After all, most of tools have similar way getting around. If one is familiar with one tool and it would not take long to get know the other apps.

Week 3: Delicious - bookmark
I've got this delicious account for a while and now I've linked delicious to twitter. I've also made a link here while I got a html code from delicious and added a gadget on this blog site. It all works well.
I always like to share info with others, especially those info that I think it's relevant to our professional knowledge and personal development. Since my of my colleagues are not on twitter or delicious I still use ancient ways such as print out it and post it on the kitchen wall, or send an email around, to share new ideas.
While we re think how to improve our services, or for example, how to make ourselves more relevant on info services, delicious can bookmark info readily available for public. Reference service is now really in pain since hardly anyone would come to library ask question. So apart from answer boards that library can develop how about use delicious to bookmarks some info regularly for public access? The one's like the state library of NSW? Or we can use it for staff self learning? At least it's more reliable. Don't know if it's possible or not but just a thought.

Week 2: Twitter or not?
Twitter has become a such popular site and most famous people are using it, to further enhance their popularity I reckon.
It's very good for a library to make bigger publicity of course. Since it's only 140 characters are allowed on one post- it's more like a computer version of instant message. It would certainly attract a quick read for coming event, for example.
Same as other web 2.0 tools, to twitter or not, mostly is determined by how we use it and why we use it. Since local councils are now more relaxed about this issue we've seen more and more contents from local government are on all sort of sites. The question now is how a library is to coordinate with media department and to do it properly.
Personally I don't think I would be a tweeter. I've made my delicious to twitter sites, that's it. But I do followed some people and want to see what useful info I can get from them.
