To chat or not to chat my ramblings

To chat or not to chat or is it now called posting messages

Is plain emailing being outdated????

My latest finds are Twitter, Bebo, Facebook and MySpace.

I have read about these through various blogs and on the Internet I have joined two of them.

My friend Twittered (not sure if that is the correct term) me, so I joined Twitter and we twittered for while accepted some new friends.

The other day I noticed my daughter using Facebook, she was in the family room using her laptop. My laptop is in the lounge room I sat down joined Facebook and sent her message asking her to be my friend, she accepted and we began chatting over the Internet instead of yelling to each other across the house, we do really talk to each other normally but this was just an exercise for me to see how Facebook works.

Of cause there many more site out there where one can chat, upload photos or post messages but I don't think they are for me.

Talking of chatting, where I work (public library) we have some computers that are restricted only for research purposes, on these computers chatting and email is not allowed and it was easy to block chat/email when there was only hotmail messenger and yahoo chat but now because there so many variations it is becoming hard to block all of them especially when you have not even heard of them, it's making the IT guy a bit crazy.

I can't imagined how many variations there are out there in the world wide web where one can email, chat or just send messages.

I've been tagged - MEME 8

So I have been tagged, I guess I had better think of 8 random things.

My 8 randoms consist of things I like/love and are proud of.

1. My children, well their not children any more but technically they are still my children, they are now adults, so do I call them my adults, no, I don't think so, that sound odd.

2. My friend, who I have known for over ten years, who has been a good friend, mentor and would not let me give up when I was struggling with my studies to become a Library technician.

3. Watching TV, I enjoy all sort of viewing from soapies to documentaries.

4.Startrek, Stargate, Boston Legal and The Amazing Race.

5. Chocolate

6.Sitting in my old lounge chair surfing the internet on my laptop

7. Completing my Diploma of Library/Information Services course, and considering I have not been near a school environment for xxx amount of years and I mean a lot of xs, that is something to proud of and I did it while working full time, enough of the self praising.

8. Getting back into the work force after the breakdown of my marriage (not my fault but his) after a ten-year break you really have to re-educate yourself.

9. The ability to be able to teach someone else something I have taught myself to do.

10. Creating this blog.

Flickr Badge (23 things Web 2.0, No 3: Photos & Images

A couple of posts ago I talked about up loading pictures to Flickr and trying to work out how to put these pictures into a widget, well I thought it was a widget but in reality it was a Flickr Badge. I have worked it out and I have added my Flickr Badge to boneygril-2nd-edition, check it out if you like.



I can add this exercise to my attempt to complete all 23 things in Web 2.0.

TIME FOR CHANGE AND CLEAN UP

Clean up - I have decided to remove several of my widgets namely Shelfari –until I find new books that I like, Clusty Cloud – at the moment I don’t need any information about graphic novels, Clusty might come back in the future, Memory Game – I have played it enough this has been replaced by Polaroid Puzzle that’s the clean up.

Change – new cloud as mentioned in previous post, new archive calendar also mentioned in previous post again I would like to thank phydeaux3 for his help in getting these up and running.

I have had a lot of visitors to my Frappr Map, Australia, Sweden, Buenos Aires, Berlin, Pakistan, Tunis, USA, Malaysia, London, Canada, Spain, Bangkok, Turkey, and Paris.

It’s also good to see viewers and readers from BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog.

I will have to get back to completing 23 things soon.
