Wiki - the end in sight

Haven't done the last bits yet, but was pleased to find I've already done the missing Things...so Wikipedia next which should be ok as I resort to it on a fairly regular basis.

Question

Not sure if email to other people worked, but the form is nice & easy to use and some of the themes are quite cute

Piece of cake

Created a document in Google docs & emailed it. Very easy! think I'll use this more.

Tweeted..

Have now been following numerous divers twitterers for a while and done a bit of tweeting & retweeting myself.  Dead easy to get the hang of and not nearly as time consuming as FB.  Like it.

Trolling & Cyberbullying

These seem to constitute a bit of a blood sport for those who indulge - with sometimes tragic consequences as here:

Trolling seems like a weird activity - these folk should get out more! 

LinkedIn thing 14

Registered for LinkedIn.

Pinterest

Another opportunity for organising and sharing things of interest.  Life's too short as far as I'm concerned!  I'm getting on great with Delicious now, so any other similar things aren't of much pinterest...oops, sorry!

Libraries on Facebook

I think there's a conflict for students with being contacted through what they see as a social space by libraries, uni, school or whatever.  I'm sure some find it helpful but others will experience it as intrusive I think.

Thing 13

Have had a FB account for a long time now but not an avid user.  Google + confuses me but I think it's just that the layout is unfamiliar.  FB is forever tinkering with the format and design which is frustrating - I don't want to spend my life working out the impact of the changes to privacy settings and where to look for things I used to be able to see...will investigate further

Thing 12

Checked out the UWE YouTube channel & left a comment on the Graduation video box thingy.

Thing 11 - audio podcasts

Have used podcasts for when on holiday in places with rubbish radio reception - great for catching up on missed programs via the i-pod

Delicious

Just signed up to Delicious and wrestling with exporting bookmarks.  Made me realise my bookmarks could do with a hefty edit lol!

Oops!

Tried uploading some more pics to Flickr at home and my pc crashed ...  All takes rather a long time I find.  No time for work as well. ;)

i-google changed

http://www.google.com/ig Just want to see if this works

Things 7 & 8 Flickr!

Flickr is great - easy to use so far.  found a photo of a lovely dog I used to have
http://www.flickr.com/photos/portiaromeo/?saved=1.  Have used Picasa loads at home so here's yet another way (also use Snapfish) of losing photos...

There is no end....Thing 5 & 6 - I think

Have signed up to Snowblog - Jon Snow's blog, and a couple of interesting looking librarian's blogs from the Wiki list, as well as the Well Dressed Librarian and the Lipstick Librarian.  Still finding it a bit confusing how things fit together. Reading blogs can take over one's life as I found a couple of years ago when I got into following Josh Hart's Onthelevelblog about car free living, and the sadly missed Bristol Blogger and Chris Hutt's Bristol Green blog.   Easy to spend your whole life delving, especially when there's a blogroll down the side...

And it was all going so well...

Now I'm lost - wandering between Google reader, Google+, wondering where my blogs which were on my blogger dashboard have gone.

Ooh, labels!

Well this is a lesson in reading all the instructions before posting! 



It's starting to be reminiscent of The Cat in the Hat with Things 1,2 and of course, not forgetting, 3



Here's my very much a work in progress iGoogle page...
