Thing 4 - Flickr

The coolest Thing so far is Flickr. I may upload all my personal photos, as a backup, and for sharing with family. I found a photo on Flickr that was posted by jacqueline-w. It is just a picture of a leaf, but for some reason, it's relaxing to me.

I enjoyed doing some searches and was amazed by how many pictures came up with my specific searches.

I did create a Flickr account and uploaded one of my own photos. Very easy to use. I have been using Shutterfly as they are associated with Target, and I can pick up my prints in the store.

Thing 3 - RSS

I had some knowledge about RSS but never really went through the process of setting anything up. Much better than checking for new postings and updates to sites I find interesting. I've got more favorites marked than I care to check.

Going through the instructions was somewhat confusing to me because as I explored and messed around in Google Reader, got myself confused because I have the RSS icon/dropdown in my IE menu bar. When I used that, I created a list next to my favorites. That was also quite handy as I can flat over the feeds to see if there are new postings.

Thing 2 - Library 2.0

I just posted a comment for Thing 2 after watching the videos and reading. Very interesting to read others' posts. I'm really enjoying that part. I liked the Stephen's interview. I like his way of explaining things as well as his personality. Tell it like it is.

Thing 1 - Blog

So this is blogging! Having fun learning Thing 1 and can't wait for more. I've viewed and commented on blogs written by others, but never had my own.
