Final post for L2T (or is it?)

I would really like to be able to use more of the Web 2.0 technology. Awesome possibilities for me with photo organization, photo sharing. Event planning with a group of people -- work related, or family gatherings -- will be very cool, too. And I love the idea of exploring travel destinations through the eyes of people who have visited those same places. My biggest frustrations have been the passwords and the limited time to explore the possibilities. I want to know it all now and be at the to of the learning curve NOW. But I know that when I go back in to explore and use sites, I will not remember much and will have to proceed so slowly. The good things -- thanks to this training I feel more a part of the 2.0 technology. I'm more familiar with terms, sites, how-tos, etc., and am more confident. Without this training, I'm not sure when I would have taken the time to jump in.

PlanetEye, "my" web2.0

I chose PlanetEye, a site that facilitates travel planning. Since I like to learn about a destination before I go, I thought this would be a good place to pull it all together for me at the planning stage. For example, I chose Prague. I have been there before, so I would be particularly interested in sites and events I had not experienced before. Looks like a good place to find interesting, more neighborhood type places, especially for lodging and restaurants, on my next visit.

A question--PlanetEye is STILL loading, even after I started posting to the Wiki and to my blog over an hour ago. Does this mean it was not a "good" site to choose?

Podcasts, Vodcasts and Downloads

I listened to pieces of a couple of Sarah Long's podcasts. I also tried to download iTunes so I could see what was there. (I stopped with iTunes when it was taking so long, worried that I was downloading something I wasn't supposed to. It did not look like any charges were involved. I would like to learn how to do this, though, so I could choose my own jogging music.)

I downloaded Prophet of Yonwood. Now I want to find out what kind of MP3 device we have at home, so I could try re-downloading Prophet onto that for listening.

Module #4 (added title)

Now finishing module #4. Lots to see on Flickr and YouTube. It is still challenging to remember where I have been, which piece of which technology I have viewed and/or sampled. Had some trouble with posting the image which I will get some feedback on, Ihope. I read the L2T comment left by the team, too, and replied. On to #5.

Bookmarks and tagging

Just finished 3rd module. Almost the hardest part is retracing steps in order to blog about it! URLs, logins, and passwords, oh-my! I'm trying new ways of keeping track, and it should get easier the more I do it. I'm afraid I'll have some brain drain on all this while on vaca.

First and foremost application of bookmarks and tagging for me will be to pull together cheap travel sites and comparison shopping sites. Too hard to remember all the urls on your own, plus other folks may have some I haven't heard of yet. At work, reference sites for homework assignments, like "Saints Reports," could work nicely.

Party blog

I think we could use a dept wiki to plan dept events, especially like an anniversary party. Could we do a Kleenex wiki? I love the idea of cutting down on the emails!
