It's astounding, it's amazing, it's so 2.0, it's 23 things, it undoubtedly will win me a laptop and loads of chocolate, as well as make me slices of toast.

Twit-twoo! Thing 23


Thing # 23: Learn About Microblogging by Trying Out Twitter

It's done - tried it out and once again, I wandered lonely as a cloud, as nobody I know is twitting or twittering..... I know it could have it's uses, but I certainly haven't a use for it - I like the status updates on Facebook, for fun, which reminds me of this. I don't really use a cell phone for anything other than making the odd call.....

Quack Quack! Thing 22


Thing # 22: Try Out the Halifax Public Libraries Learning 2.0 Meebo Room

I logged in and felt quite lonely on my own! I'll have to go back at a time when more are in there - maybe I'll arrange a meeting or a social!

"Quack Quack" is what you shout when the number 22 ("two little ducks!") comes up in bingo, when you play it in Britain - I recently learned that you don't have this tradition here, of having phrase and actions for different numbers, when leading a bingo session in "The Drop" - our after school drop in - the sense of confusion amongst the youth was very apparent as I merrily quacked on my own! So we had a session learning how to play it like that - and they loved it! More info on "Bingo Lingo".

Beep! Thing 21


Thing # 21 -- Take a Look at Meebo

I took a peek, but was there on my own, so found it hard to get excited. I do like the idea of linking different services together in one place.

Twang! Thing 20


Thing #20: Find a "Folksonomy" and Describe it on Your Blog

Well, I found a folksonomy on flickr in the open tagging allowed to describe photos. I'm searching around for other fun stuff and will report back.

Nnnnnnn.....Thing 19


Thing #19: 'Friend' Someone on a Web 2.0 Service

I have 'friended' on youtube, facebook and flickr.
I've even made a 'real' friend occasionally thanks to web 2.0 stuff....

Slap! Thing 18


Thing #18: "Tag" Something on a Web 2.0 Service

I've done a few tags here and there - on delicious, flickr and librarything.......
