Likes and dislikes...

Having joined Facebook and Ning and having looked at Delicious I appreciate how useful these could be.

Ning - really useful for groups eg clubs or a work project groups or colleagues not at the same location.
Facebook - this is not for me at the moment. I'll have to wait for a "need" such as Wendy in keeping in touch/up-to-date with family and friends. For me, I don't like the "publicness" of it. I even used a madeup name.

Delicious - I think this is useful for those of us who share computers at work.

I have to say that there are huge possibilities but I like my old-fashioned system of email alerts (rather than RSS - even for database searching!), using email (own domain name) for most things plus favourites on home computer. Might have to think of a better system for work though. The possibilities are endless...

Social networking..

I have now joined Facebook. Disliking public spectacles, the readings have reinforced my prejudice against permanent public statements about yourself - I prefer a "private" life!

My children couldn't believe I would have a Facebook account (they are 11 and 13) and suggested various play-on-names finally settling on Sue Nami so that is it for now...

Ning here I come...

The google world

I now have igoogle, google reader and gmail - google is certainly all encompassing!
Time constraints this week have been an issue though and I am trying to use the hour before our CCLlearn gathering to catch up a little.

I think I need to now cull the number of rss feeds I have set up as I'd never have time to read or listen to everything. There is a big risk of information overload.

too many decisions

So far this is fun but its hard to make so many decisions about modules and templates and what to write! Using stuff is quite a different concept from doing stuff!
