"23 Things"

My favorite thing within the "23 Things" was blogging, although I really didn't have the time to spend on it that I would have liked. It was interesting reading other blogs too...and I think that could be addicting.
Exploring the "23 Things" was interesting. To realize all of the information and technology that is available if only you understand how to access it all.
I found that I really needed a lot more time. Trying to navigate the "23 Things" in the midst of summer reading was hard...and now, on the very last day, and in the very last minutes I'm pushing myself to finish.
Hopefully I'll find time to explore more.

Overdrive

I don't think that I would use Overdrive to download audio books, although I can see that others may want to access books that way. I just don't think Overdrive would be something I would use.

Podcast

I had no idea so many podcasts existed. I just would'nt have the time to sort through them all.

YouTube

I had never gone to YouTube before doing this exercise, although my kids go there all the time, and are always showing me "interesting" postings. However, I did find a live recording of George Gershwin playing Rhapsody in Blue, with the sheet music posted to view. I guess you can find all kinds of things there. If only I had the time.

Web 2.0 Award Winners

Checked out several of the Web 2.0 Award Winner sites...Bookmarking, Food, and Guides and Reviews. All seem easy to use, which at this point is very important to me.

Zoho Writer

I liked Zoho Writer. I do have to admit that I really haven't used many other tools though. It seemed very easy to use

PBCLS Wiki

It was fun to see everyone's favorites.
