wickedpedia

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 !

The Delicious Site

I have looked through Delicious in the past and because I found it awkward and somewhat confusing to use usually resorted to other methods to search. The display options could help in searching in some ways but overall I didn't find that this site offers an efficient or user friendly way to look up specific information.
I came to understand the site better when I took on an assignment to update our department tags and did find it was very easy to edit/delete/add which is invaluable for an informative and up to date site. I also discovered a great site to look up obituaries from the Calgary Herald which a customer was looking for and a few other little gems just by stumbling upon them as I navigated. Therefore, I think it is definitely worthwhile to poke around and see whats there.

Assignment no. 1

I am going to answer choice no. 1 of this assignment. I am looking very forward to becoming more comfortable with these technologies. Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur so thank you for this opportunity to at least be on par with my daughters and others like them.
