Week 7 & 6: My Space, Del.icio.us and More

I took a look -- cursory though it may have been -- at My Space, Rollyo, Library Thing, Technorati, and all of those other interesting sites recommended in PTL Weeks 5 - 7. While perusing My Space, I found Tom, noting that, besides being a millionaire, he also is a Libra. I also visited my younger daughter's My Space page. (How do 27-year-olds find so much time to party?) She also is a Libra...but not a millionaire. I'm not sure that I would ever put Rollyo or Library Thing to use, but I understand why people who enjoy being online more than I would organize their web world with these tools.
I also revisited my blogline account, which I hadn't done since creating it, and I opened a few of my feeds. If I just had more time, those feeds could be very worthwhile.
I AM learning lots at these exercises.

Week 5: Creating an Avatar --Linda in Full Battle Regalia

What a fun exercise this was! I read all about image generators. Then, following Connie's recommendation, I accessed Doppelme.com/ to create my own Avatar. I needed Tim's help to insert the image into my blog, but here it is: me in full battle regalia, ready to assist all Telephone Reference customers, including those who just received their UMS letters!
Before leaving Week 5 Lessons behind, I need to read about Rollyo and Library Thing.

Week 4: RSS Feeds

Well, I must admit I learned quite a bit this week, and I can see the benefits of making use of feeds. I chose the "bookworm" link, which immediately offered great book review sources. I also selected a few news feeds, as well as sports, of course. Now if I can only find time to read my feeds.... I plan to share this RSS information with my husband, who will love it.
