Google Doc'ing

I like the idea of using Google docs. I've used similar document share-things before and they are very handy when a group is working on one large project. But I have yet to use it for all the documents I have on my flash drive. Something about having my drive as one place for all my things. Logic tells me that Google docs would be much more convenient, but emotionally, I want to have things on a drive. Why is that? Is it because I'm afraid of the possibility of things getting lost on the Internet? (I'm one that doesn't worry too much about hackers.) Things I used to depend on being there on the Internet seem to disappear with regularity, though that seems more about people redesigning their web pages than the thing actually disappearing. I'll try to get the courage to take that emotional step to start my next project on Google docs. Help me!

IM'ing

It's great to be back with Project Play, though as usual, I'm at least a week behind. I did manage to get myself a meebo account and get the widget on my blog as the rest of the office here did it, but I never finished the assignment. So, here I am.

Being the unimaginative worker bee that I am, I have no idea how this could be used in a library setting, though David Lee King's idea of embedding it in the failed search page of a catalog is quite smart. That could be extrapolated to include failed database searches, and ask ref pages as well.

Now off to see if I can get Week 2 done!
