Week 8, number 19.

I have some sweet sun burn on my back and it's itchy and I think I'm going to go crazy.

But back to the task at hand, I looked at Twitter for this exercise. I got it from the winners list, from the Social Networking Mainstays category.

It is cool, but would be better if people I knew were on it, and if I had all day to sit at my computer and type notes to people. I could just as easily ring people though, unless they're on the other side of the world.

It's ok though.

Number 18 - interesting

I did get it to publish to my blog, which was great, but it looked ridiculous, so i don't know if that's really a useful tool. It was excessively spaced out so I had to fix it once it got here. Slightly defeats the purpose doesn't it?

Perhaps you're not meant to space it out like normal when you type it into Zoho. I guess that with practice it would become more useful.

Surely it's lunchtime by now...

Week something - 7 I think?

Number 18 - Online productivity tools.

Zoho is good. Although I'm mighty impatient and I'm not great at waiting for it to load all the time, which takes ages by the way.

It also took me roughly 20 minutes to work out how to post this to my blog, which may seem stupid, but it wasn't imediately clear to me. Smart.

This would be useful if you had really fast internet

Now lets see if I can get this to my blog......

3 months later...# 17

Ok so I kinda just put this down for 3 months, when the chance of me finishing in time to win the camera was gone I gave up. That is the power of incentives.

But having seen the snazzy certificates, and being in need of a memory stick, I've decided to continue on my quest to web 2.0 knowledge.

So, back to the task at hand, Social Networking. I haven't done the actual activities on this, as I already have a facebook page, and I used to have a bebo page, and I think I'm pretty much up with the play here.

I love Facebook, or facey as we affectionately call it, virtually everyone I've ever met is on facey. Heaps of school friends I've not seen for years randomly appeared out of the woodwork, and even people that I'd forgotten. Now that is out of control. I can never go on it though as I don't have a computer at home. DUMB!

Since I'm doing this at work I can't look at any of the suggested sites, and we only have a couple of computers so I'm probably not going to steal them from the public. But consider it learned.

I also think that it's a great environment for places like libraries, or bands, or anything that's needing publicity really, especially anything focussed toward youth. You can put in loads of good things that people can participate in and enjoy, quizzes, polls, photos, etc.

Onward.
