Thing 23

I made it to Thing 23, yippee! So much new information! I have picked a few "things" and will use them on a regular basis.
This was quite a challenge. As I said at the beginning I prefer to work with an "instructor or teacher" and still do. Is it really better to get knowledge from trial and error? Or is it better to ask a question, get the correct answer and move on?
THE END
I think not.

Thing 22 Overdrive, NetLbrary, Project Gutenburg

Yet another new and interesting road to travel. Found several books that I plan to "listen" to in the near future.

Discovered Pandora where I can create my own radio with only the music I like to listen to.
Plan to build on this. Yes, I'm running out of time and am pressing myself to finish this.

Thing 17 SandBox wiki

Took some doing but I'm there.

Thing 16 Wikis

So much information, so little time. I went on the MERLIN Wiki Learning Link and was very impressed to see how this was a tool for "group collaboration and social networking" for different conferences. I then picked a favorite subject to search and of course found loads of information.

Thing 15 Web2.0,Library2.0

My thoughts: "The ever changing future"

Thing 14 Technorati

Good "Thing". Found several sites I plan to share with friends. A whole new world of information and opinions has been opened to me.

Thing 13 Del.icio.us

In researching Del.icio.us I "connected" with some new
and interesting websites. Tags will help to clean up my
multitude of bookmarked sites.
While exploring I went into a photography tag and
selected "What chefs do when bored" thinking I would
connect with something about cooking. Imagine my
surprise when it took me to a site full of animal pictures
and articles.

Thing 12 Rollyo

This will become a very helpful tool as time goes on and I fine tune and add websites.
