Post - 003 : Your Choice

Hello, this is Gort. I am your Web 2.0 channel robot for sector 001-BK. This is the Your Choice portion of the Library Blog. Please welcome our 'bot on the town, our circuits in the trenches, 003-BK, Wheel Robot, prepared to present the Your Choice session.


Hello, this is Wheel Robot. I am your Web 2.0 channel robot 003-BK and welcome to the Your Choice session. I am here to show you around the library system in interesting and amusing ways. Please enjoy my reporting.



Where is your approximate location now, Wheel?




It looks like I have relocated myself to a branch of the library system that has a collection size of approximately 52,000 volumes, a meeting room that seats 40, a computer lab helpful for beings to learn and compute, a building size that is 12,000 square feet, 72 parking spaces, a drive-up book and media return area, and a scanner. This library opened in August 1995, and the time capsule and marker were placed at the front entrance in May 1996. This Library was the first Henrico public library to include a computer lab and to offer free computer instruction classes.



That sounds very interesting.





Thank you. Yes. It is. Do you care to surmise my location, Gort?





We do not have time for games, Wheel, please inform us.






A wager perhaps?





...





Very well, here is my answer in the form of a video.






Well?





Well, what, Wheel?





Would you care to guess?




...We do not have time for this, perhaps I shall pull the plug.




I dare yo--------

Post - 002 : RSS Feeds.

Hello, this is Gort. I am your Web 2.0 channel robot for sector 001-BK. This is the RSS Feed portion of the Library Blog. Please welcome 002-BK, Rescue Robot and his discussion of RSS Feeds.


Hello, this is Rescue. I am your Web 2.0 channel robot 002-BK and welcome to RSS Feeds. RSS Feeds, or Rich Site Summary, is a feature that allows beings to keep up with websites they frequent similar to a daily newspaper. They would "subscribe" to sites using RSS Feeder or called a feed reader or aggregator. They can be web based, such as the popular Bloglines. Usually formats read the title of the unread portion of the page with a lead sentence or two. It is quite informative and particular to individual beings' interests.


Pardon me, Rescue?




Yes, Gort.




Do you have any suggestions for local feed that might appease beings in the area that is known as Central Virginia?



Yes, Gort, I do. One such location on the World Wide Web is called RVA Blogs. It is on board with the hip and happening as far as this area is concerned.




Do you think a library would benefit from RSS Feeds, Rescue?



Yes, Gort, I do. They could benefit in a variety of ways. For instance, notification of special events for beings such as times for story for smaller beings and computer instructional classes.


Thank you for your information Rescue Robot 002-BK. We look forward to more from you in the future as we progress. That is all for now.
