Evaluation

Access to the basic Google Alert service is free. Users can easily subscribe to updated information from selected websites regularly. All I did was set up an account with Google Alert and have it sent to my e-mail address. As a part-time library worker, I get updated information from my libraries’ blogs through Google alert daily.

Survey Monkey
Survey Monkey lets internet users to create surveys online. It is a very useful web tool.
In the library service, we can use this tool to conduct surveys easily.
I created a dummy survey as below.
"Library new programs survey".

Feedburner
I set up a feedburner account and I am waiting to see what is going to happen.

Twittercounter and Google analytics are the tools to get graphs and statistics.

Delicious

Delicious (del.icio.us) is a social bookmarking network. It can be used to share, search and resource bookmarks. It is very handy for the internet users to save links for future use.

The bookmarks can be arranged into a list of tags. Users can install a “My Delicious” toolbar in the internet browser. It gives users easy access to the saved bookmarks.

I signed up with the delicious account and created my delicious web page. I started building up my bookmark list that I regularly visit. I used Linkrolls to display my del.icio.us bookmarks, and Tagrolls to display my del.icio.us tags in a tag cloud.
