23 Things – The Last Round-up

It has taken me a while to get to the last round-up of 23 Things but in the intervening time I have continued to learn more and use many of the things I learned about while doing the program.

Overall I found it interesting, informative and I learned more than I thought I would. However, I did find the program time consuming. Maybe that was because I was on sick leave at the time and tended to explore some of the things more than was necessary.  I was pleased to have the distraction, though.  I discovered that there is a Web 2 community in cyberspace that is constantly evolving.

Some of the things that I explored I have continued to use every day. Things like social networking and Bloglines. Other things like podcasts, I find I don’t use as much. I thought I would use Del.icio.us more than I do. One tip about Del.icio.us, don’t forget your password!

Creating a map in Google maps and inserting icons and photographs was fun. However my favourite thing was Picasa. I have used it much more than I thought I would. I created an album of the highlights of my trip to Europe and was able to share it with family and friends.

I am pleased that I had the opportunity to participate in 23 Thing - and my iGoogle pet hamster also continues to thrive.
