Bloglines RSS

Well, simple enough at the beginning but then once you decide how you want to be notified, it became a little complicated (you have to download which I didn't do). The websites I was interested in did not have RSS feeds. Don't think I'd ever use this feature but interesting to use. If I had more time I'd look into it further.

Google Products

I've used a few of 'google products' in my Cyberseniors classes. I like to use google maps, images and subject directories. Just playing around with Google Earth now - really cool, but I like some of the results (directions, location finder of buildings...etc) better on google maps. I'm going to use google earth in my next Cyberseniors class - I think they'll really enjoy it. Google has so much to offer. Again, its finding the time to do these assignments - it's frustrating trying to do searches in between customers! Onward ho! - Moe!

Facebook

It was easy to set up an account. Probably what is most appealing about Facebook is finding someone you haven't heard from in years. I found someone I haven't seen in over 20 years! That was pretty cool.

I don't think I'll be using it much - it can become very time consuming, plus most of my age group does not use Facebook. Being on the computer all day at work, I don't want to use it in my "down' time - nor do I have the time. I can see how it can be a fun social-networking site.

Wikipedia

I was amazed at how easy it was to edit and save the change, without having to log in or create an account. I was also surprised that I found a spelling mistake! I looked up "Casa Loma" and found one spelling mistake written in the history - there could be more but I ran out of time to look.

I really don't rely on Wikipedia as my main source of info for a customer, but it comes in handy as a quick reference. But if anyone can edit, how do we know what we are reading is accurate?

Delicious? Not really. I've had better.

How comfortable am I using Delicious? -not very - think I need a one-on-one -I like to use CPL's 'best websites' - Calgary Public Library - favourite bookmarks - especially the Top 10 tags but the rest of the Delicious - well let's just say I have absolutely no interest or time to read this stuff, but thanks for asking....on to the next assignment!!!!!
