Twitter and me

After several rejections by Del.icio.us or Twitter or both, I have successfully linked the two accounts. Not sure I'm a Twitter person - always far too much to say and too obsessed with grammar - to squeeze anything worthwhile into 140 characters! But it's a learning experience, so I'll try it once or twice.

Week 1

I have a new look template but alas am still the old-look me :-(

Blogging is not one of my top 10 activities, but I am glad to get back to it for Learning 2.1. I do subscribe to a number of other blogs, mainly work related but a few which allow me to keep in contact with nomadic friends and family. And I also read the blogs of several very talented online cats. And yes, I do make the occasional comment on these blogs. I figure if people have gone to the trouble to blog, the least I can do is look interested!

Learning 2.1 revamp

It has been a very long time between posts, but in the spirit of keeping up with the Joneses, I'm starting off anew for the Learning 2.1 program. Let's try a new look...

Thank you and good bye!

The end of the adventure!!

I did look at a few of the social networking sites and I can see that libraries can use them to create communities of interest, with the added bonus of harvesting email addresses etc. And I think it would be a way of getting a bit more out there, with certain target audiences. It doesn't 'grab' me (and you won't find me in bebo, spacebook or skyblog) but wouldn't it be good if all the public libraries were friends of SLNSW!!

As for Second Life - the real is engaging enough, virtual still seems like playtime, but I'm open to suggestions. And come to think of it, keeping the genealogists in second life could be very helpful...

And I've enjoyed the program - thank you Ellen and Mylee. I wasn't a model student, I'm afraid. There were bursts and lulls, and there are still quite a lot of things I will go back and look at again when I want to apply them, or just to find out more. But I am better informed, I have looked at my preconceptions and jettisoned a few, and I've been challenged by some of the ideas and concepts.

As for my personal blogging future? May resurrect it again in my retirement...

Week 11

I have been having a little look at Google Docs and Zoho. I think I prefer Zoho - it is a little more 'intuitive' and I like their home page better (it's all in appearances, isn't it??)

Zamzar is a good site too.

I can see a lot of potential for document sharing amongst work teams separated by the eccentricities of our shared drives, and in a wider context, with other colleagues, elsewhere. It would also provide opportunities to work remotely on shared documents, presentations etc. And of course - SAVE SPACE.

I loved the tada list - my cup of tea!!
