Social Networking

For you, is Facebook useful or a time-waster?

For myself, Facebook is both useful and a time-waster. It's useful because it's an easy way to keep in touch with friends and post and rsvp to events. It's a time-waster because I easily get sucked into checking it a few times a day, when I could be doing something more productive instead.

Wikipedia

How easy or difficult was it to find articles that needed editing? Were the errors you found factual or grammar / spelling?

I looked up the posting for Calgary Public Library. It was easy to find something to change. The post said something to the effect that CPL's funding situation would be "even be worse" if we didn't charge cardholders the yearly administrative fee, and were it not for the efforts of the Calgary Public Library Foundation. This didn't sound terribly professional, so I deleted it.

Delicious

How comfortable are you using Best Websites, after this practice? Do you have any tips for using Best Websites on Delicious?

I am quite comfortable using Best Websites on Delicious. The most frustrating this about Delicious is how long it can take to load. Apart from that, it's a great way to store our favourite websites.

My tips are quite simple: always use the tag bundles to find the information you are looking for, sort your lists alphabetically and use ALT - F to find whatever term you are looking for on the page.

Web 2.0

Which part of web 2.0 are you most intrigued (or scared) by?

I'm fairly familiar with most of the topics, except RSS feeds, so I'd like to learn how to use RSS feeds productively.
