Thing 23

Finished! I enjoyed the program especially discovering new things like Delicious and Flickr. I'll be using them from now on

Thing 18

I've had a play around with Encore and I must admit I do like it. I think its Google-like interface will appeal to a lot of students and make searching the catalogue easier. I'm also a big fan of the Tag Cloud with its hierarchal sizing of relevant keywords.

Overall I enjoyed participating in 23 Things, especially experiencing fun, interactive and innovative Library/Web 2.0 applications.

Thing 17

Delicious is a good way of sharing links with others, but most importantly it enables people to access personal links when away from their computers.

The tag component is a useful tool because it offers a different method of searching, and it's a good way of discovering new topics and links. I personally like to use the 'Related Tags' and 'Popular Tags'.

Thing 22


I personally use MSN Messenger at home to chat with friends and family. I use it nearly everyday and love the fact that it's free. Video conferencing is another reason why I regularly use this web based communication tool. You can catch up with family from overseas, without paying a hefty telephone bill, plus you can see them as well.

Thing 20

Microsoft NEW Technology Microsoft Surface

I believe it's one of the best Web 2.0 tools available. There's a lot of copyright issues, but nonetheless a very enjoyable pastime.

Thing 19

Good way to share documents, ideas, photos etc.
