Wacky Wikis

A friend told me about Wikis a while ago... I was only half-listening, honestly, so I don't remember which Wiki she was referring to, but I remembered her saying that it drove her nuts! I can see her point, actually. If you want things to be exact, correct and under control all the time, it definitely isn't for you... or her. Being that basically anyone can throw their two cents in and things aren't exactly monitored or checked for accuracy, it can be alittle frustrating. Especially in the case of Wikipedia... just because it's used so often and I think there is some confusion about how accurate it is at times. But, I can also see the benefit of using/playing with a Wiki... It's a great way for people to collaborate with a group, or organize a rough draft for your thoughts and get opinions from other people... I sorta dig it.

Catching up

So I guess I got alittle behind here in this porject... But, I'm catching up... I guess I'm on lesson 11... Del.icio.us, Technorati & Library Thing... I had actually already finished the first two and wrote about them in the last two blogs, but I guess it's all clumped together in the same lesson, so this is a little note on all three...

I had a little trouble with downloading Del.icio.us and am still a little confused about Technorati... but I think I've got a handle on the basics of each program... Quite cool, actually. The Library Thing is cool, too. It seems to be a good way to keep track of everything you're reading/have read, and see what other people are digging at the moment... So, I might actually keep up with that one...

Well.. onto the next 'thing'...

Technorati

Well, if this is anything like the Illuminati, we might be in trouble ;)

Okay, so, I signed up with this thing , this Technorati... I claimed my blog and now it will be tracked... dunno if that's really a good thing, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, I guess...

This whole process has been interesting... I have to make sure I keep up with all these things I've signed up for.... this blog account, another MySpace account, Flickr, del.icio.us, technorati... oh and that RSS feed thing... whatever that was...
I guess all this would be good if I had a business or something... It's nice to be acquainted with it all, tho...

del.icio.us

well, got myself signed up in del.icio.us... Seems like a really great set-up... Especially for me, since I am constantly surfing the net for bellydance festivals/vendors/performers/etc and often forget what website was where and who was what...
I don't have a computer at home, so I just uploaded the program onto a work computer, tho!
Ah well... if it bothers someone I guess I can always delete it... right?? ;)http://del.icio.us/bellydancingbookslinger
