Week #7, Thing #16, Technorati Tagging

Enjoyed seeing what were the latest blogs...definitely did not enjoy all the ads. A good night to explore though as we were victorious in men's Olympic hockey (!!!!!!!) and I had access to a sports blog with a lot of waffling on. Easier access made possible and continues with Thing #16.

Week #7, Thing #15, Delicious Tagging

Definite uses for researching anything and everything...serious or fun. Took a quick run around and will go back when I need to research something more substantial. This is as serious as I got so far: http://www.coffeegeek.com/

Week #6, Thing #14 Imaging

It was fun! I can now dazzle my friends with some clever gifts, cards, invitations, announcements and email additions and inspire them with my wit. These are free web resources and now I am able to point people who ask in the right direction. More good information to share.
My attempt at generating something clever is included........

Week #6, Thing #13 Library Thinging

Another great personal resource and one I plan to use for book title ideas. I am trying to expand my reading interests but somehow know I will fall back on the familiar and stick with what grabs me early in. Lately I have been returning books after just a few pages....quite proud of that too as I have often in the past waded through a lot of twaddle.
So many books, so little time...... http://www.librarything.com/catalog/lvshr

Week #6, Thing #12 Twittering

I now have a Twitter name...something I thought I'd probably give a miss. But in the spirit of the thing, #12 to be exact, I have joined and have been looking and I have found a few twits I like. I don't think this will be something I twit with myself, but I love the cruising through any and all manner of topics available. I am now following a few and will see where it takes me, but my fear is that one day they will mandate us to open up our lives completely and tell all and be viewed as antisocial if we decline. Hmmm...sounds like the subplot of a Ben Elton book.
I may be tweeting away here: https://twitter.com/addedvoice

Week #5, Thing #11 Feed Finding

I really liked Topix.net because it linked you to many online news feeds right away. Technorati is really interesting and I will be back to that again and again. But it will take many more viewing hours to give justice to all that is available.
The time spent was well worth it and once again, addictive.

Week #5, Thing #10 RSS Feeding

I have mentioned my net surfing well past any decent hour beginning when the Interwebs first opened oh so many years ago (mindboggling there was a time it wasn't around..WHAT DID WE DO???) But I have neglected some of the goodies offered to make viewing faster and easier. Now, with Thing #10 I have found RSS. Google Reader....sweeeeet.
A business or individual who regularly tracks updated information on favourite news sites or blogs will want this.......and I am already addicted.

Week #3, Thing #8, Teching!

A short techno blog. I love it, I use it and I would really miss it!!!! I always look forward to the newest technology (IPad?) which gives access to a big world growing smaller and more accessible as technology connects us.

Week #3, Thing #7, Still Flickring!

I have been having fun clicking away at the links to mashups, web apps and Flickr tools, but honestly haven't found anything that I just had to use. The trading card link offered applications (jigsaw, movie poster, cd cover, wallpaper) that I hope to explore later and could come in handy when I finally organize my sanctuary space. But for now I will call it a night and live to click and play another day.

Week #3, Thing #6, Flickring it!

Eaton's Ninth Floor, Montreal

I love surfing the web, exploring anything and everything that pops into my head at 3 a.m. and often finding pictures on Flickr that lead me from link to link well into the wee. Friends often link me to their holiday and family shots and I hope to do the same as a new Flickr member. My intentions are to post pics but it has often been the case that I have fabulous intentions which sadly end there.

I love Art Deco design and Flickr offers access to pictures of beautiful buildings and interiors from all over the world. Love that! I offer this Art Deco style interior shot, posted by arcturus rex, from the Eatons in Montreal (he has tagged it Toronto but it is in Montreal).
