Twitter, RSS & Pushnote
It is hard to keep up with all the new passwords I have been creating! Great fun playing with the new tools. I already had a Twitter account which I don't use as much as I should but learnt how to save searches. I am quite familiar with RSS feeds so really didn't do much there. I hadn't heard of Pushnote and had no idea what it did so it was the tool I found the most useful. I really do like someone else doing the work for me and finding a great website so I know that I will be using Pushnote!

Personnal Branding
I never given very much thought to personnal/professional branding having just really entered into my first professional job. If I was being truthful I would have to say that I find self promotion quite confronting although I can definitely see the benefits. I was lucky enough to attend the M-libraries Conference in Brisbane and found out a great deal of information about presenters & keynote speakers by researching and seeing who they are and what areas of interests they have.
So I have set about starting my personnal/professinal branding, trying to use one nickname on various social media formats is my first aim. Still looking for a nice background to use on all sites, wading through my personal collection of photos waiting for an inspiration.
I was surprised that I actually had some real hits for myself when using Google including my profile on my Libguide as well as my Twitter account. There are plenty of me out there though!
