THING 17-SOCIAL NETWORKS
I do not do any social networking other than Facebook. I was reluctant to join Facebook, but was encouraged by family members in other areas to join so we can keep in touch. I am not a member of any online communities. I can see how some people, who are passionate about particular subjects may want to share their passion with others, but that is not something I would do. I visited Gather and Ning. I found the Library 2.0 on Ning to be very interesting.
Thing 19
I found tons of informative and entertaining websites. In the category of the 50 best websites of 2004, (under News and Information),I looked at the National Geographic.com/education and really am impressed with the Giant Traveling Maps! In the 50 best websites of 2010, I looked at youtube's 50 best videos, and also got a kick out of the top 10 youtube train wrecks. I viewed the top 10 people caught on facebook...a couple that I looked at were criminals who were caught because of what they put on facebook...good!

Thing 23
Well I have to say I am glad it's over. But I have learned that I am not so apprehensive about looking at something I may know nothing about. I did enjoy finding some interesting cooking and music websites, And really liked some of the fun things like elf yourself. So in all this was a great experience and hope that the Fab Four wins!!!!
Thing 21
1. You Tube - I think You tube is great for so many reasons. To name a few, I have used it for watching people fix things I have no idea about, or watching local bands that are not around this area anymore to see whats up.
2. Mayo Clinic - Well this one goes without saying, I think alot of people use this web site for great medical info.
3. IGoogle - I liked to set up my own page, and be able to add gadgets.
4. Amazon - I have ordered from this website many times, my husband and I love to see if they have the rare movies we like to watch.
5. Facebook - Even though I don't use Facebook, I do think it's a great way to keep in touch with family from out of state.
6. Chegg - I found this website interesting, how you can rent and sell textbooks at a much lower price. Great Idea.

THING 23
Well,what can I say,this was not the most fun or easiest I have done,but I finished.I did learn a lot of new things and even found a few things I might use in the future.I am not the biggest fan of computers,only use them when nothing else will do,but I am willing to learn what I have to, to get by.
