I explored Del.icio.us on the PBCLS site and created my own account as well. The you tube video explaination was very useful to me in helping me understand the site. As a former teacher I can definetly see how the site could be useful in research - especially for certain groups - like teachers. It creates an easy way of sharing info and research. No more scraps of paper with site names floating around.

WebFeat 12th Thing.

I looked up my home town of Gulf Breeze, FL. It's up in the pan handle across the bay from Pensacola. There were 7 items found. The most interesting was an article about a guy starting an aquaculture business, but the article was from 1995 and there was no followup, so I wonder if he was successful.

This one made me feel old. It really took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, what the purpose of the RSS is and that bloglines is different from my blogpage. I think I have it now and I have actually found some interesting sites and blogs. One of my favorites is presurfer. All kinds of neat and current craziness to look at. I also like having my news sources in one place and now I get that the value is in seeing the most current info instead of sifting through everything. I also learned about Playlist.com - my 15 year old didn't even know about that :-)

7th Thing. Create a blog post about anything technology related that interests you.[+]Complete the 23 Things Progress Report: Week 3; Flickr

This is it - my technology blog. I have always loved photography - both film and digital. I had an early digital and used to experiment with different programs to create various effects on my photo - colors, textures that sort of thing. Several years ago my husband got me a really good digital but I seem to use it now as just a point and shoot camera. I really enjoyed exploring Flickr and feel inspired to start playing and experimenting with my camera again.
