Week 6 things, late again

Hi all,

well late again, but have had a good play today :) It just shows you that even for someone like me who uses the net a lot, that you do get bogged down in you own little square and sometimes forget to look outside it at what else is there. This was especially noticeable in looking at things like delicious, and in just looking at their Hot List, theres useful things like '10 cool ways to use paypal' and stuff like that.

Things like these tagging sites do indeed link you up to things that you probably wouldnt otherwise find. But i guess it comes down to getting around to finding all these different sites and actually taking the time to bookmark, tag and thus share sites with others. Its obvioulsy a great thing and its thanks to others taking the time that we have access to these. but its a change of mindset and culture.

talking of which one of the blogs on the PLCMCL2 profile on delish focusses on RSS feeds from libraries, which made me look afresh at this concept. Having set up some feeds of interest thru my own MyYahoo page, I can now appreciate certain benefits these have in keeping up with latest happenings.

Gotta say i thought technorati was too US-centric and full of fluff entertainment garbage. So i linked some RSS feeds of some good oz stuff like crikey.com.

i think we should have some time set aside within our regular work week to really play and keep up with all these online resources. any chance the learning 2.0 team could provide some ongoing update e-letters on hot sites/ resources, after the program is finished?

cheers!
