Not really all a twitter

I just finished an article about a guy who was refused a seat on an airplane as he was too fat. Now this guy is on a mission against the airline and their policies and has "a million-plus Twitter followers". How satisfying would that be!
I just spent maybe an hour or so on Twitter and from what I could see it certainly fulfill's a lot of people's need to blather or chitty chat about whatever, something which I am not that compelled to do. Also, I would think to get the most out of this site you would need to be connected online a lot more that I am. However if I were involved in or interested in a controversy such as the one above maybe I would be a little more inclined.

the Library Thing

Looks like a great site for those who are serious about their books! I would mainly use it to look up some reviews or perhaps to get some ideas of books to read if I am stuck. I didn't have much trouble finding my way around though if I were looking just for book reviews Amazon would still be my first stop as I like looking at the Editiorial reviews as well.

Another Google Hit

I had no idea about Google documents until this assignment. I had no problems learning about the site or uploading, creating or sharing different documents. It is very flexible and easy to use and can see that if you were collaborating with someone on document this would be all you would need to make your life easier.
I am looking forward to getting to know this site more and working with it in the future

flikr/youtube

I whiled away some time going through both sites. I don't even own a digital camera so I am unfamiliar with the flikr sort of sites. I can see though how people who own a camera can really get into this. I would say it was user friendly as I had little trouble navigating though not sure if I like the tags. I am much more familiar with Youtube and have viewed many vignettes that are quite interesting and funny which are passed back and forth through email. I find this site to be easier to navigate or more user friendly that flickr and would spend a lot more time here (if I had it!)
