I'm finding reading colleagues blogs incredibly informative, giving me a more in depth perspective of the tools we're exploring.
I'm just having a go at doing a basic task with the "things" I've explored, but there are several I will go back and explore and use in the future and FlickR is one of these.
I will keep my photos "Private " and email link to Friends and family when I want to

I used FlickR to Tweet this picture of my Mothers day flowers. I'm not a Tweeter so sending a picture was easier than thinking of some words to Tweet.

Just created my Twitter account and activated the app on my Netvibes page so feel I can follow tweets without getting overwhelmed.
I have yet to post a message or retweet a message. I thought  you needed a mobile phone to tweet- so am reassured it's not essential. Some-one I know uses Tweetdeck to organise her Tweets. I'm not sure I'll need that. I'm already reading Tweets about thinngs I don't want/need to know about!

Just read an interesting post on the DCC blog about open access and data.

confidentiality and open access to research data

Just added a couple of RSS feeds to my NetVibes home page, University of Southampton news and 23things. I have chosen a bookshelf as my theme and have managed to move some of the widgets around the page. I wasn't sure why I would use Netvibes rather than Favourites but I can see if I do a bit more work I will enjoy having my own Netvibes webpage.
I deleted several of the standard widgets but kept Facebook and flikr as we will be looking at them later. I'm getting login fatigue-I'll have to keep a record of some of them-AND we've got to change our university password too!
I've used Doodle but don't know how to link it to Outlook.

Just been to the Serials Solution Summon demo which I thought was very good. We were recommended a blog  that was set up to support the Information Literacy and Summon event held at Sheffield Hallam University on 18/Jul/2012…http://summonil2012.wordpress.com/about/

The beginning

I'm planning to work through the 23thingsSoton Web 2.0 programme this Spring. I am registered as a Facebook user so I can add posts to the Library Facebook page. My daughter has helped me with Facebook settings so my page is as inactive as possible, although I understand I need to keep checking settings when there are Facebook upgrades!
I have used Doodle before but am looking forward to having a go at the other 21 (20 now I've created this blog) things.
