Social Networking

Social networking seems to be all the rage these days. Anyone with a teenager in the house can confirm that. I’ve had a Facebook account for some time now but I must admit, my sole reason for getting an account in the first place was to keep an eye on my daughter’s page. The safety issue is a concern.

There’s no doubt that social networking sites are a great way to connect people who share similar interests. Occasionally, my daughter and her friends even discuss homework assignments on Facebook but I don’t see me getting addicted any time soon, that’s for sure.

Seeing what is posted on some people’s profiles and the poor judgment some people use in what they disclose, makes me very cautious about what I put on my own. I’m all for social networking but I still like the face to face kind best.

Google Docs

So far, Google Docs has been the simplest and most straight-forward of the RULA2.0 exercises for me.

I've used Google maps many times and find Google Earth absolutely facinating (even though it's out-of-date).....to be able to spin around the world in seconds is amazing.

Delicious and LibraryThing

I found the instructions for Delicious difficult to follow. I like the tool itself and the idea of being able to share (or not) and track interesting sites from any computer. I still don't think I completed it 100% correctly but I reached the time limit on this one.

I created an account on LibraryThing at http://www.librarything.com/profile/atassone
I haven't added anything to my library yet. I may in the future.
