Slideshare

Slideshare is not easy to use without a lot of time spent learning it. Sites are downloaded to email so you need to tab between two programs - if you can open both. Customers may find it simple because they have had time to play with it - Paparazzo doesn't have that luxury. Paparazzo doesn't really know how it works so doesn't know what benefits he could promote to customers about it.

Tastespotter

Paparazzo has been tastespotting. It is easy to use and good for foodies to look at and salivate to. However not so good for starvers like yours truly.

Fed my inbox

Paparazzo just fed his inbox but thinks you need to use it often to find it easy. Instructions are not easy to follow. Its hard to recreate your email login without being thrown out because it already exists. This is just for copying images - Paparazzo doesn't see how it could be SO useful on learnnets or in workrooms. Why should we promote it?

Picapp

Not sure how this could be used by Manukau Libraries - suppose it could be useful if you had to embed images in something. To use it easily, you have to know what you are doing, which applies both to staff and customers.

This is the pieman

Paparazzo has just been wasting time on facebook. He could not even find the sites following the instructions he was given. It doe not seem easy to use . If you had a lot of time on your hands you might eventually get somewhere but Paparazzo doesn't. Customers might, but whether they can see any virtue in it is their choice.

Paparazzo has just tried to download an MP3 site, but it was blocked by the Manukau Field Marshal. Paparazzo does not think the customers would or should be able to use this unsupervised.

Paparazzo has just had a look at the Goodreads site. This one does look useful for both library staff and customers to consult and find out about GOOD BOOKS - yes such things do exist! This is definitely a site which should be promoted to customers.

For twits

Paparazzo has just been a twit and tried to tweet. It is not simple for those who are not prficient users. Creating an account would take libraryusers an inordinate amount of their time if they were starting cold. It is a good social networking site but don't know how Manukau Libraries could use it for marketing. Its no use to me.

Failed experiment

Paparazzo has just received a message from the Manukau Marshal that his zamzarring failed because he was playing with dangerous files!

Where did you leave your zamzar. Its lights are on!

Paparazzo had just been told about a new toy called Zamzar. However having used it he could not recommend it to others unless they have a lot of time on their hands to figure out how to use it. As he slowly walked along amongst all his other deluded and doomed colleagues, he reconsidered and realised he might have a lot of time on his hands where he was going!
