Task 23 Summary of Thoughts

At the beginning I had plenty of time to go through the tasks and really investigate new things. Then suddenly I got so busy I couldn't get to it at all.
Many of the tasks I had had a bit of experience with already. Others I hadn't used at all such as Flikr and LibriVox.

Task 22 Social Networking

I do have a Facebook account which I don't use much. It's nice to look at friend's photos etc. I find it annoying how Facebook constantly changes stuff. Maybe it's because I am too old.

Task 21 Twitter

I created a Twitter account once but can't remember the password or even the name of it. Looking at the UQ and UQLibrary Twitter pages I can see a use for it. Letting people know about new research or changes etc.
When I was young and loooooved certain bands and movie stars I would have thought it was the best thing ever to know every single thing they were thinking and doing but now I am just not interested.

Task 20 PodCasts

I like to download PodCasts of favourite comedians.
I often download Podcasts for my mother of her favourite ABC radio shows.

Task 19 YouTube

Here is my favourite Flash Dance Mob on YouTube (I could waste hours on it):

Task 17 and 18 GoogleMaps and iGoogle

I use GoogleMaps all the time. It's so great.
iGoogle is really useful too. I like to change my theme whenever I am getting bored with the old one.

Task 15 and 16 Wiki

I quite like Wikis even though they can be a bit chaotic. Some are more user friendly than others.
The Wikis I looked at hadn't had any updates for a couple of years so I think they are going out of fashion.

Task 13 and 14 Del.icio.us and Technorati

I do find Del.icio.us tagging way more useful than just bookmarking. Keeps sites I want to go back to more organised so I can find them again.
