Twitter

Do we really need another Social Networking site now that we have Facebook? Do we really need to know what your favorite personality is having for lunch?

I have a hard enough time keeping up with my three kids who live in another province. Twitter is not for me at this time.

Library Thing

I found the site easy to navigate however I found 32 entries for one of my favorite authors, John Grisham.

Maybe there should be edits on the site or perhaps I am missing something.

On LIne Tools

Took a look at the Google calendar and it could serve our requirements as a reminder for those once a year items, i.e. birthdays; anniversaries; etc.

We currently use a large calendar for recording our work hours, appointments, etc. and we find it quite effective as it is very accessable, rather than having to turn on a P.C.

Flickr and You Tube

I found both of them easy to use.

However, would I post anything to them, probably not.

On You tube I was able to find a concert video of one of my favorite artist that was recently included in a DVD biography. I also found the same video taken on someone's camera phone. Obviously not the same video or audio quality.

RSS

It was very easy to set myself up. I used tere recommendations for a couple of interesting sites and I was also able to input a site via a URL.

Now if I can set aside some time daily I will try yo keep up to date on the entries on these sites.

Google

Well I tried Google Finance and found numerous companies I could invest my money if I had any. The chart of stock market companies gave the most recent activity as well as reasons for drastic increases and decreases in the stock value.

I have used Google Maps and have found it very east to use. When I have more time I will use Google Earth to find some landmarks I am familiar with.

There is also a Genealogy area within Social that I reviewed. Some of the sites listed I have used previously but will keep this in mind if I unable to find some certain information on my family search.

Facebook

Facebook could be a real time waster if you are always checking back on your friends. It is easier and more private to keep track of your friends via email.

Wikipedia

I triedto track down incorrect info and grammatical errors on several Wiki sites but was unsuccessful.

Due to the ease I was able to edit some of the posts, these sites are not particularly useful for someone who is wanting factual information.

Delicious

I have used this site a few times and feel quite comfortable in using it.

I just hope that by tagging many sites on these heading they don't get to cumbersome to use

What do you hope to learn from CPL 2.0?

I hope to be able to set up my blog with without much difficulty.

I am looking forward to the coming weeks.
