twitter

Okay so I am now on Twitter.  Not sure what I think about this yet but I will see what happens and let you know.  I am following only a few people but I worry that I might lose myself in the reading about others.  I guess I really have to Tweet myself so I can then get a following, my goal is 2 people.  Like I say dream big or don't join stuff like Twitter.

By the way Library lady, the link on the site was to Facebook and the App A stuff says Facebook so you might want to update that.  I guess the last time this was signing up for Facebook so some of the stuff slipped through the cracks.

I worry about telling too much about yourself online so I am going to make up a persona, maybe a 30 something hip and happening chick.

Thanks again for this course really enjoying it.

Tagging

Sorry I was late with my homework.  I will try to get caught up this weekend.

Loved this Tagging thing.  Again it took me awhile to figure out what I was to do but I LOVE IT.  I am planning on teaching my son how to us it since I think it would be great for school research etc.  Where was this stuff when I was at school, granted when I was at school the computer was a new toy that we could not figure out why it was going to take over the world.

I tagged some sites that were about tourist attractions in TO since my son is doing an exchange trip in the fall we want to find out what the cool things to see are.

Thanks for letting me experience life in the cloud, I have read about it but now I am up there floating around with the big boys.

I forgot to comment

The embedding was a bit different than the video explained but thank god for a teenager in the house who knew what to do.

I have used YouTube before what a waste of time or a time waster whichever your perspective.
I think streaming has become so popular since everyone wants to be a star.  Even my teenage son (as mentioned above) as a site where he has his band playing.  they are about to get 85 hits so he is very excited http://www.youtube.com/embed/vq47JifUlVQ

I don't know if I would post anything on youtube but never say never.

My rating

So I do know what the Web 2.0 world is but wanted to be a user and not just a looker.  So on a scale I would say a 5.

This is fun and my nieces and nephews are impressed.
