Twitter

Armed with a bit of knowledge about what Twitter is all about, share your thoughts on this fast growing online phenomenon.

I really cannot see the point--I think it just adds to information overload.

LibraryThing

Was the site user-friendly? Did you find it difficult to navigate?

I found it quite user-friendly and easy to navigate.

Google Calendar

Do you see yourself using these tools or will you stick to more traditional methods. If you were to use one of these tools regularly, which would it be and why?

I will probably stick to the traditional methods. If I were to use one of these tools, it would be Google calendar.

Flickr and YouTube

Comment on Flickr and YouTube. Were they user-friendly?

YouTube is very user-friendly--how difficult is it to watch videos--some of which are quite funny and some that are just inane.

I did the tour of Flickr and that was very straightforward. However, since I did not attempt anything tangible with actual photos, I cannot comment on its ease of use.

RSS feeds

I successfully set up two RSS feeds.

Google

What do you like about the Google product? What do you dislike? Would you recommend the product to friends and colleagues?



I particularly like Google maps as I'm directionally challenged!

Another aspect of Google that I appreciate is that is you misspell a term in your search that they prompt you with "did you mean?"

I would recommend Google.

Facebook

I have had a Facebook account for about 6 months. My primary reason for setting one up was to see photos that my daughter, who lives in Ottawa, puts on her page. However, I often forget to even look at my Facebook page.

I get the impression that a lot of people can waste a lot of time on Facebook. Do you really want to reconnect with people you knew in elementary school--and didn't even particularly like?
