Week 11, Thing 18 - Widgets

The countdown widget on my iGoogle page gave me increased motivation/pressure to complete the 23 Things. It gives that sense of deadline looming in days, hours, minutes ... This is probably one of the more popular widgets to add to web pages that are fundraising or counting down to elections, etc.

Week 11 - Thing 17 - Social Bookmarking

Diigo social bookmarking will be very useful at work and for class work. It will save me a lot of time as I can access from any computer. I like the sticky note and webslide features. Tags are also useful as they will keep my bookmarks organized and easier to find. I will be exploring and experimenting in Diigo long after the 23 Things program is complete.

Week 10, Things 15 & 16 - Social Networking and Twitter

Facebook and I have a long term relationship. However Twitter is new to me. I have to say that I am not a huge fan. It probably would be more exciting if I had lots of time and energy and interest in constant feed of information. My style is more facebook - check once in awhile to see how everyone is doing.

Week 9, Thing 14 - Photosharing

Flickr what a great site. I have been hanging out here for some time now. I created an account and have uploaded a picture but not one of the library yet. Will have to move on but not before I upload a library picture.

Week 8, Thing 13 - Catch up week

I liked catch up week. I think I need another one.

Week 7, Things 11 & 12

Wikis I have used before in our branch library. We were using it to keep everyone up-to-date on projects and new developments. I contributed a few items but mostly liked to read news posted by others.

I also contributed to the 23 Things Wiki Page comment area.
