I subscribed to 2 sites in both ways and they both popped up on my list so I would have to say that this is an easy process. It's also easy to manage so I can see how this is a useful one stop shop. I haven't been able to spend too much time on this but will conclude that- so far so good.

The News listing caught my eye as I am a bit of a newshound. I could spend a lot of time here and wouldn't feel too guilty about doing it. I would consider myself considerably more informed about the issues and the news in the world today. It updates continuously as articles are posted online. When it says you can access thousands of news items online its not kidding! It does sort it out for you so you can look for items in your interest category though each posting can also show you thousands of articles. A little overwhelming perhaps. I did like the search tool on the top of the page and it zeroed in on a particular subject. Yes I would recommend this site to friends, family, coworkers, customers etc.

Facebook (is fun)

I think Facebook is an interesting invention. I get different insights into my daughter's lives and receive invites from long lost acquaintances who all of a sudden want to be my friend once again. I enjoy going through the pictures that people post and see what is going on in their lives. It's a different way to keep up and I can do so in my jammies. Yes it can be seen as a time sucker but I would suggest that this would be different for each person and how one would define wasting your time.

I like Wikipedia for providing a quick overview of some subjects, always keeping in mind its vulnerabilities. Mostly I have been pleasantly surprised by the depth of some of the articles and found it to be a great starting point for research or to even be satisfied completely with information provided in some cases. I consider myself a "jack of all trades" sort of person and was really wondering what site I would find that I would actually find a factual error. Keeping in mind the idea that current sites would offer more room for error, I combined this little tidbit of information with my "expertise" in music and as luck would have it discovered a group whose discography was not up to date. This was rather a simple thing to edit with a reliable citation and now my work here is complete. Onward to Assignment 4 !
