Thing 23 - Refresh

I decided to use my old blog--TA DAH!!! I didn't officially register for the original 23 Things on a Stick, but I did complete most of the Things and blogged about some of them. I decided to make it official this time through, so I am signing up for More Things on a Stick. I have done a bit of blogging since the end of 23 Things. I don't enjoy the actual writing as much as I enjoy experimenting with new widgets, photos applications, videos, etc. I also really enjoy adding photos and links.

I read quite a few blogs. Most of them via Google Reader which I am loving more and more every day! My brother and his girlfriend moved out of state recently and it is a really nice way to keep tabs on what they are up to. And vice versa I hope.

I do comment on blogs. Right now that is limited to people I know. However, recently a read a local foodie blog that criticized one of my favorite restaurants. They had good points but I feel that I could add some good points too. The only question, which blogger identity to comment under? Yikes!

I am excited to learn more and appreciate all the hard work that has gone into both rounds of this wonderful learning tool.

Okay so you have to push the right arrow really fast to get it to work.
I am sure there are better ways of doing this...

M.A.M.

I just found out yesterday that someone out there actually reads my blog!
For you, my funniest friend, I clear the cobwebs off of the best blog in the world.

Thing 12 -- Social Media Sites

I am interested in what other people are reading about on the web, but I think I prefer to read stories organized by subject rather than popularity. I do think this is a way to find news stories that are not covered by the biggies that pop up on my computer screen like CNN and YahooNews. Like this one for example which I found on Reddit. But I am also skeptical about the reliability of some of the news sources of course.

Newsvine is okay and I do like Mixx because of the way you can choose your subject.

Thing 11 -- Tagging and del.icio.us

This morning I started an experiment. I got rid of all my bookmarks (at work) and put them into del.icio.us! Sounds crazy huh? I will probably regret it, but seriously, I am going to try to organize all of the websites that I use on a regular basis and try to make a habit of adding new ones that could help me in the future.

The major challenges are: tags can't be more than one word (ugh!), I have to remember to log myself in at the beginning of the day and I also need to remember to tag as I bookmark, because it can be a drag to go back and tag everything when I make a new cluster. I am excited that my tag cloud can go into Facebook. I doubt anyone really cares about my tags, but whatever.
