Are we there yet Ringo?

Almost finished, phew. I'm still trying to chat with colleagues via Google Talk, but thought I'd post initial impressions of the program and my favourites.
IMHO, the program is extremely relevant to Librarians and anyone really working with students. I've even noticed that I can better communicate (in brief monosyllabic speech of course) with no. 1 son who's 12+ He uses a few gadgets I'm now familiar with so that's a bonus! Some applications I don't think I will spend too much time on but the following I really enjoyed and found useful:

Blogs - interesting and a little self-indulgent but fun. Flick - I already used it before the program and think it is great, especially when travelling or if relatives etc are OS. Facebook - not keen but can see the value in interacting socially with colleagues. Google Maps - useful as more and more maps are now online. You Tube - what more need be said - one of the top sites on the Web and can be used for teaching purposes rather than just idiotic "look at me" videos. Google Talk and the other products seem really useful and I'll use them with mates. I get the feeling there are a lot of applications on the Web such as Meebo that are now consolidating or mashing together various applications to make it easier to access 'stuff' All in all a fun activity.

Library Services should utilise some of the social networking applications both to keep us using the tools and developing our skills and become exemplars in the use of the technology.
