After a Christmas hiatus it was a real effort to restart & I sometimes spent more time blogging & commenting online than I did talking to to my husband (not that he minded!) I have enjoyed the course and welcomed the challenge to learn more about Web 2.0 terms which hitherto were nebulous. Although I had heard of all the technologies except Geocaching, the assignments forced me to examine them more closely and put them into practice. I hope to go back and look into their applications and features further.
I will even miss my attempts at blogging - what happens to 'retired'or under-utilised blogs? - are there Blog Refuges?
Although I love all that Web 2.0 has to offer and appreciate its relevance in attracting newer and younger library users, I agree with Nev Shulman participant in the doco Catfish - the other Facebook film that set tongues wagging in 2010 - when he entreats us to
"get out there, do things with people, call your friends, visit your mum, have a conversation with someone, make a new friend and don't spend too much time by yourself on the internet."
Well thats Web 2.0 sorted(in my own peculiar fashion) - what's next?
I thoroughly enjoyed your blogging efforts and your final comments sum it up very nicely.
