Hello all
The biggest differences in this task was in the responses to the searches. Blog posts resulted in mostly informative information, whereas in tags and search blogs, it was more like reviews. I can't say there were any great surprises but you can get rather bogged down with info. I watched a video for all of 1 minute only because I was surprised there was one.
There is just way to much info 'out there' and at the moment I think I'm just overloaded with WWW stuff. I also think that as a research tool, the Web is just making things a little more complicated. I seem to be spending more time learning the ropes than acturally researching. Never mind.
Cheers All

Task 13
Woo Hoo, over half way!
Delicious was great. I'm impressed. All those times when I've lost my favourites. sooo frustrating. I didn't join but if I intend to travel or change my computer, I will probably create a page. Intersting to visit some other people's saved places.
Cheers

Task 12
Hey there
Another fun one. Again, I wish I had more time to enjoy. I did listen to a couple minutes of P.G. Wodehouse's 'Death at the Excelsior'. It's good to know that whenever I decide to retire (not for a long while yet) I'll never be bored. Well onto the next...
See ya

Task 11
Hello All
I liked this one. Books that I added to my library are 'Vampires in their Own Words' and 'The Cowboy and the Vampire'. This will be a great one to revisit. Wish I had time to actually read them.

Task 10
Hello
Oh yeah, another account. This time it's really simple and quite fun. I would like to go back again to this one cause I am an avid reader. This is also a great research site for anyone doing research on a specific author/title. Here's my page.

Well that's it for me today.

Task 9
Hello again
I used the Technorati search tool for this exercise. It was fairly easy to use. Then surprise, surprise, I had to create another account. This time with Digg. They were real quick sending back an email so I could just power on from there. I subcribed to any feeds with Libraries Australia as the search term.
Just for a little fun for myself, I also wanted feeds for 'purple boots'.
I do know that RSS is quite useful but again, I just don't want to be bogged down with unnecessary emails.
Well, onto the next one.
Cheers

Task 8
Hello everyone,
Glad to see a couple more online. So onto task eight...sigh
Well that was very interesting. There were no links on this tutorial. Nevertheless, I decided to teach myself and found useful directions. I am only suscribing to one feed as I am already on a list and there are one or two collegues who include me on lists. I really don't want to recieve any more emails during the working day.
The feed I subcribed to is Australian Screen at http://australianscreen.com.au/feeds/latest/
