Week 11. Things 17 and 18

I signed up to become a diigo user and added a couple of things to my diigo page. I added a countdown Widget to my Igoogle page. Again this is interesting, but I probably will not use it in the near future. It is good to know about these "things".

Week 10 Thing 16 Twitter

I created a twitter account and I choose a few twitter streams to follow. I chose a couple of popular media streams (Canada AM and American Idol) and of course was swamped with tweets within a couple of hours. I assume that streams with specific interest would be more manageable. I can see that this might be a bit time consuming! I think I would be more inclined to continue to use Facebook rather than Twitter and certainly not both.

Week 10 Thing 15

I have limited eperience with social networking. We do have a "household" facebook account which is mostly used when friends or family tell us they have some great photos to share. I am interested in getting more engaged with social media when I have more spare time.
