Task #10

My web 2.0 knowledge is a lot better than I originally thought but I have also been introduced to resources that I had never heard about before, so that is very exciting. I would rate myself a 9.5 out of 10!

Betty Blogger Summer School has been a lot of fun and has helped me feel more comfortable with web 2.0. It has met my expectations in that I have learned and been exposed to a lot of really interesting and important applications. Library Lady exceeded my expectations in how much personality could be expressed online.

My biggest challenge was blogging about what I was doing. I would rush ahead a times and check out the assignments but had troubles going back and blogging about my experience. Summer is a heavy time for me at work etc so it was an extra thing to do after I had the fun of playing with whatever the new application was that I just been introduced to.

I found the self directed learning part to be very successful and fun.

I would recommend this to a friend and I am glad I was able to participate in it this summer.

Task #9

Library Thing
this is the link to my library
http://www.librarything.com/catalog/jamianne.fournier


I really like Library Thing and I think I will continue to use it. I already had an account previous to Betty Blogger but forgot about it and never used it so now that we have become re-acquainted I think it will be something I will enjoy using.

Task #8

RSS Feeds are a lot of fun and a great way to keep your email inbox tidy. A few years back I started with bloglines as my aggregator but changed over to Google Reader since I have gmail.
The two new RSS feeds I subscribed to are: Booklust and Geranium Cat's Bookshelf

I find Google Reader very easy to use and will continue to use it in the future.

Task #7

The dish I chose to bring to the picnic was a pot of chili and small cobs of corn with basil butter.

The PB works experience was good. It is fun and very easy to use but I don't think I will keep my own wiki at the moment. However I work two part-time jobs and both utitlize PB works so do I some wiki stuff there. I am comfortable with PB works so if I was to keep a wiki of my own that would be the root I would go.

Task #5 Photo Sharing

I have this thing with Black Swans....
the photo I found on Picasa was just gorgeous!

The tags associated with this photo are as follows:
Black Swan, Nature, Swan, www.leticiascamera.com

It was fun finding photos on Picasa such as Black Swans but I don't know how often I would use it. I have not got into the habit of uploading photos and the ones I do go on facebook. I did find the searching process to be a little annoying as its precision is quite dodgy. My experience on Picasa was just okay and I don't really have a purpose for it at the moment so I doubt it would be something I will visit often.
