Thing #23 Wrap-Up

The favorite thing I learned about is the whole challenge. I found that one by-product of this exercise is it builds confidence when tackling other tech. issues; you try more things out.

What I liked least was I would have liked more time to explore and get comfortable with whatever "thing" I happened to be working on; I felt a little rushed. (We're a little short-handed here at the moment.)

The Web 2.0 services I've shared with friends and family are Library Thing, Picasa, YouTube and podcasts, with more to come.

Thank you to the Committee for answering my questions along the way. I did have my share.

Thing #22 - ListenNJ

I tried doing this on a Ref. Desk computer but had trouble because of our security. I was advised by the WebThings Challenge Committee to try doing it on PCPlus and it worked. It's a good service to our customers, and the time allotment of 10 days should be sufficient.

Thing #21 - Podcasts



I found a National Public Radio podcast on "This I believe," which are philosophies or core beliefs by famous and not-so-famous people.
