Thing #23 Wrapping Up

In spite of myself I actually think that I got something out of this Web 2.0 Challenge. When I first started this I looked at the list of things and felt anxiety. I thought I would never see the end of the Things but here I am!

I got something out of it for my personal life by learning about Flickr and its uses. I got something out of it for my professional life here at the library by learning about Google Docs. I found that I learned so much about the RSS news feeds. I get this question often in the library's e-mail reference question box. Now I can easily answer this question because I understand about opening a Bloglines account to accept the newsfeed. What a great idea but who has the time to read everything.

There are many other things that I learned about but only skimmed the surface because I really didn't have the time to spend on each Thing. So I am going to go back over some that I didn't like too much like Del.icio.us and look at it again.

I guess this is what it is to be a lifelong learner. I am always interesting in something new if I have the time. I really like the Web 2.0 Challenge at the end but it was tough getting through some of them when there are so many other things to do at work. It certainly was a challenge to get through all of the Things but it was worth it!
