Armed with a bit of knowledge about what Twitter is all about, share your thoughts on this fast growing online phenomenon.

I see Twitter as just another form of a blog, except in a shortened version. Personally I find Twitter to be uninteresting. Rather than following those you know online, wouldn't it be better to talk to them in person? It seems as if Twitter has become a popular phenomenon simply bacause of the growing trend of using technology, namley the internet, as the primary form of communication.

Do you see any practical applications for LibraryThing either at home or at work? Will you start using this site?

Library Thing is a very practical tool for anyone. I would find it useful to use at home or work. I like how it recommends other books based on what you have already read, that's something I would like to use when trying to find new books to read. At work, it would be practical to show customers the site so that they can read book reviews or find similar books by authors they like.

I could see myself perhaps using Google Docs for school purposes or just to upload documents that I would want to open elsewhere. It seems quite convenient to have the documents saved online and accessible anywhere. But for the most part I think I would generally stick to traditional methods instead.

Comment on Flickr and YouTube. Were they user-friendly?

I find YouTube to be very user-friendly and it provides a quick and easy method of searching for information on the net. There are instructional videos to music videos, just tons of different subjects that can be searched for in a matter of minutes.
Flickr was fairly user-friendly as well. I was able to find pictures of my topic of interest and got the same results as the posted pictures by others. I would use flickr for photo sharing.

Were you able to successfully set up your RSS feed? If not, where did you run into problems? If you were successful, does this make information-gather

I was successful in setting up the RSS feed. I found it fairly simple to create and use. However some of the sites I suscribed to were inconsistent in updating feeds. But for the most part they showed the information I was looking for. I find it does make it a bit easier to bundle the information all together in one system.
