Finally the Finale.

Well I have been enlightened about many more things on the web - some I have heard off but never used and other things that were totally new to me.

I will probably use Google maps and I like the idea of setting up your own homepage with iGoogle.

I enjoyed finding books online in print and audio format.

Technorati would have been handy to know about earlier when I overheard someone asking about blogs on a particular topic.

I really enjoyed doing 23 Things and have gained new knowledge that will hopefully be called upon.

Social Networking

Well it seems everybody is facebooking or myspacing except me and the people I went to school with. One day when the need arises I might join.

They are both great tools for keeping in touch but I think some people let too much personal information about themselves be readily available to others.

Twittering

It seems everyone is Twittering. It's a great way to keep in contact but I still don't think it is something I would use personally.

Podcasts, Smodcasts!

It was fun and easy finding podcasts through Podcastalley. The variety of podcasts was huge. It's seems a great medium for learning. There were lots of podcasts that wanted to teach you stuff be it academic or just for hobbies.

The quality of the podcasts did vary - some were very grainy and some had excellent picture definition.

YouTube

YouTube is fun and once again there appears to be nothing people won't put on the web. You could spend many hours at this site but alas don't have the time. My link of interest was to do with libraries - The Library - a Mr Bean episode

iGoogle

IGoogle is a great idea for consolidating your favourite tools - which are called Gadgets. I like the fact they have little pictures to identify them - it made it easier to know what they were about - not always so obvious with bookmarks. Some of the gadgets I have are Currency converter, weather and googlemaps.

You can even access your google gmail account along with all your other google products.
