That's all folks!

Now it's time to say goodbye to CML's 23 things. I enjoyed this experience greatly. I use the skills and tools I have learned at work, home and school. I realed that I was not as knowledgeable about web 2.0 tools as I thought. I'm glad I got to participate in this project with all my wonderful co-workers. Thank you everyone that help make all of this possible. (And thanks for paying me while doing all of it!) :)

Tweet Tweet Tweet and away we go!

I think twitter is the most commonly used social tool among my friends besides facebook (I deleted my myspace and I don't think many people I know are using it anymore). It's a really good networking tool. If you maybe post about how you're job searching someone that is "following" you could write "@" you and give you advice. I use twitter here n' there. I just link my twitter and my facebook so if I change my twitter status, it will also change my facebook status. cool.

LibraryThing

This is a cool way to share books that you enjoy with others. I might create one, but I don't think I would return to it very often. I usually just post the books I enjoy on my facebook and on my blog.

Library Blog/Newsfeed

This is an informative article I found while searching library blogs:

Bloglines

Bloglines definitely was the most painful Thing. I remember spending hours that week helping different people (and trying to figure it out myself) navigate through the directions and the site. I don't think I will be using Bloglines anytime soon. I guess it is nice to see when different sites add a new article, but I'm not an avid reader of just any one site.

Flickr

Flickr seems to be a very easy to use site. I like how you can search through anyone's albums that are public for a specific subject. I have not used it yet. My family uses the Kodak online albums and my boyfriend's family uses Shutterfly. I just post most of my pictures on Facebook. I don't have a camera yet, but when I get one I'll do more research on which site to use.

Registering my blog on CMLsi

I now have to backtrack since I did not make a blog post about some earlier Things. My first one is registering my blog on CMLsi. Pretty easy except my blog was not a link until weeks later :( It's fun to click on people's blogs and guess who they are. Now we can spy on some 200 people!!!
