Thing 14 - Tame technorati

  • Found the search function useful to find a video of interest, but doubt I would be a serious user of this sight.

Thing 13 - Discover delicious

  • Created a delicious account for myself. The reason I would use it is for computers in multiple locations. I also found the categorizing or tagging facility useful, a little like favourites and folders.

Thing 10 - Edit a wiki

  • Tried to be to clever here, and so was unable to create an account in wetpaint, but once you have created an account it is as easy as editing a word document.

Thing 9 - Read about wikis

  • A wiki would be great for co-ordinating workgroup activities, good for discussion groups and for adding and editing topics for conferences and meetings.
  • I liked the way the Book Lovers Wiki feedback from patrons was categorized into sections making it easier to read. It was also interesting looking at the Library Sucess best practice wiki and comparing versions of the wiki over time

Thing 8 - Explore podcasts & vodcasts

  • A simple task once you know how to subscribe to RSS feeds. I captured the podcast for the ABC radio show "Is it just me" with Angela Catters & Wendy Harmer and copied the Media Watch vodcast address from the ABC website into my RSS feeds. The appeal of podcasts and vodcasts to me is the convenience, you don't have to be free at the time of the broadcast.
