23 Things n'@-- Reflections Week 12, Final Week

I really enjoyed this course and found myself looking forward to the to the weekly “thing” assignments. I feel great that I made the time to complete all 23 things. I was familiar with some of the “things” but I also learned other technologies that I might not use, but I can help patrons or co-workers use them. I was especially amazed at how much I love facebook and how addicting it has become.

Since I am an IT person I have to leave you with one more look at this video from the 23 things blog--drum roll please!

Podcasting

I subscribed to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Podcast "Pittsburgh Hear and Now Tech Talk" using feeds in Internet Explorer.

I also downloaded a couple Podcasts from Angie's list: "How to Switch to Organic Lawn Care" and "Medical 'Gag Orders' for Patients".

This was a very interesting "thing" and I know that I will be subscribing to even more podcasts.

FIREFOX

Since I have used tabbed browsing in IE 7 and IE 8 Firefox tabbed browsing really isn’t any different to me. I tried “fashion your Firefox” and colorful tabs but found out that they are not compatible with all versions of Firefox. I did try the Christmas Scene and Red Cats (blue flavor) add-ons. The Christmas scene was cool but way too busy. I absolutely loved the Red Cats add-on—no surprise there ;-)

I don’t like a lot of add-ons in Firefox or IE because they tend to slow things down and most of them really aren’t that important to me. All in all Firefox is ok but I am still an IE Woman.
