CPL 2.0 RSS feeds

Question: Were you able to successfully set up your RSS feed? If not, where did you run into problems? If you were successful, does this make information-gathering more convenient for you?

My answer is yes I was successful, but I haven't found anything yet that I really want to be updated on. I will be on the lookout as I browse the internet on my spare time!

CPL 2.0 google universe

Question: What do you like about the Google product? What do you dislike? Would you recommend the product to friends and colleagues?

A Google product I really like is google maps. It is easy to use and when looking for someone's address for example, it's really nice to be able to do a street view to see what the house actually looks like! I would recommend it to anyone.

CPL 2.0 social networking

Question: For you, is Facebook useful or a time-waster?

Too soon to tell. I would have to say that I would be leaning towards time-waster as I don't have any contacts on my site as of yet. I have trouble keeping up with people as it is because of a lack of time. Having another source to check will likely just use up more of my time, but I could be wrong.

CPL 2.0 Wikipedia

Question of the day: Were you able to find a topic obscure enough that Wikipedia doesn’t cover it?

Not yet! I may keep trying. Stay tuned for more...

2.0 Delicious

What a difference a few minutes can make! I have briefly looked at delicious from time to time, but never really found it useful. Spending a few minutes on it this morning made a big difference for me. Just realising that I can put it in alphabetical order made it make so much more sense. Scrolling through the tags allowed me an opportunity to see what is available for future requests without the pressure of wanting to help the customer now. I can now see myself going to these as an information option.

A tip I would pass along is to put the tags in alphabetical order and to have them open in a new window. I found this useful when looking at a subject and it was like peeking at a tag while still having the list in the background. I didn't feel as lost this way.

My first entry of my new blog. Created as a work assignment.

Question of the week:
Which aspect of Web 2.0 are you the most intrigued (or scared) by?

My answer to this would be that I fear that I would have nothing interesting to blog about. How many loads of laundry do people want to hear I have done in a week? Scared would be a bit of a strong word to use for this, but now that I have created it, I am interested to see where I might take it! "web 2.0" has been explained to me in the past, but really hasn't sunk into my head what this really means.
