Week 13: Bonus

I only occasionally listen to the radio (even while driving), so I don't expect to do so online. Once again, it's a matter of limited time.

I have a Shelfari account and have wondered about Library Thing. I found the articles comparing Shelfari to Library Thing to be interesting and informative. I find Shelfari to be visually appealing, but it seems quite slow (perhaps because of the graphics?) and somewhat limited. I've now opened a Library Thing account and look forward to using it.

Week 12: Phun Photos

I explored the websites and will save them on my Delicious account. Having an art background, this looks like a fun thing to play with. Thanks for the great links!

Week 11: Online Productivity

We've used Google Docs in our department a bit, so I'm familiar with it. I like the idea of electronic storage, and think that as we all get used to using it, collaboration will be simplified.

I seriously plan to use Google calendar so that all scheduled events in my life can be seen in one place. Woo hoo!

Week 10: Tagging/Social Bookmarks

I've been curious about delicious, and found the lesson most informative. I like the idea of having a place to bookmark websites in a place that can be accessed from anywhere--I can stop sending those incessant emails to myself, and it should eliminate some clutter. I opened a delicious account and have bookmarked a few sites. I expect my appreciation will grow as I continue to use it.

I'm not sold on the social aspect of bookmarking (i.e. tagging), but perhaps this will change as I become more familiar with it.
