The journey is done!

Well we have come to the end of the journey....although once you get started, I don't think that the journey ever really ends. I have learned alot of stuff during the course of our 23 things. I think I will continue to use some of the applications we toured through and others will go by the wayside. Some of the things I was already familiar with and others were a completely new experience.
I am not sure how many of the applications will be relevant to what I do at work.....but it is good to know that they are out there and that there are lots of other unexplored applications out there just waiting for my username and password!
It was fun!

Wordle

Wordles are cool....

Going for a Walk

Coming up with a map was a fun project and I can think of some really good applications for this especially on a personal level. I did have some trouble getting the community walk to do what I wanted it to do....I ended up doing some manipulation of the markers to get them to go in the order I wanted....otherwise it seemed that alphabetical was the default order. Check out "A few Beers on a Sunny Saturday".....makes me impatient for summer to come!

Gadgets

I have always been a sucker for gadgets! Get me into a kitchen gadget store and I will hang out forever....and then there is the Hammachler Schlemmer catalogues that amuse me for hours! What more do I need to say?

Using Diigo

I think I could find some use for Diigo to organzie my favourites.....I have quite a mess currently of links I want to keep and I think Diigo could help me to organize a bit better. I tried to search for a pretty general term "gardening" but I really didn't find anything there that useful.....I am not too sure yet about the sharing part....I realize Web 2.0 is all about sharing and user generated content and organization but the library in me still likes the confines of controlled language!!

tweet tweet

Well I signed up for a twitter account....not that I have any intention of actually tweeting but just to see what it is all about....and as I suspected, it is not anything I will ever use. I just don't care what some celebrity is doing every minute of his day....I did find a medical news update that is interesting but it is the same information I can find using RSS feeds. I have been a facebooker for several years now....always fun wasting a little time with that!
My vote?? Twitter gets 2 thumbs down and Facebook gets only 1 thumbs up!!
