Tagging

I have used some of the tagging sites such as "Delicious" but have not fully developed them. I guess I do not have enough favorite items that I can't find them on each computer I use--I only use my work computer for certain things so don't need as much as I do at home.

YouTube and Hula

I was familiar with these two sites--have enjoyed both of them very much.

Wiki Fun

In Stanwood we were introduced to a wiki by Jane Lien who set one up to provide current procedures and information for the Stanwood Staff. I appreciate that it is there and all the work she put into it. I don't know if we actually are using it exactly right but there are so many ways for staff to communicate, I think we forget this one at times.

Friend Networks

I have been a member of GoodReads and Librarything in the past. I joined Eons and Facebook for this exercise. Wow--lots to absorb and take in.

Streaming Music

I joined Pandora and created a music station but did not think the selection was very large--I think I limited the choices too much. I enjoyed the Sno-Isle classical music on line. It has some wonderful selections and I will use this alot.

RSS Feeds

I think this is a way to get a GREAT deal of information quickly. It is overwhelming and I find that I tend to not keep up with it. I enjoy what I have read in the feeds I created but I don't have time or the inclination to read all of them or keep up with them daily.

So much of the tech stuff gives us so much info and of course not more time to process it.

Instant Messaging

I have not used IM or chat technology before so this has been a new experience. I have only chatted with one of my co-workers who was a few feet from me when we did it. I'm sure it could be fun.
