Tagging

Well, I must say that this week's assignment didn't come easy to me. I guess I just don't get this whole "tagging" phenomenon!  Anyway, after reading and re-reading the instructions, I was finally able to login and create a Diigo account and add some Bookmarks.  If I'm being honest, I would have to say that I will probably not use this tool beyond the BettyBlogger course.  However, I have been proved wrong in the past, so you never do know.

Streaming!!!

Hello again,

After perusing YouTube for a while, I decided to add: http://youtu.be/xNZjfz8rgT8 because it is inspiring, entertaining and is a rendition of my favourite U2 song (and my Wedding Song too!).  This is a prime example of the types of videos I like to look at on YouTube.  I know there are many ridiculous and funny videos too, but my schedule doesn't afford me a lot of time look for these, so I usually find out about the really popular ones from my kids.  I can see that this could become somewhat addicting and I think this is probably why it is so popular - It's fun, very relevant and timely. I will continue to use it in a limited way, and who knows, maybe I'll see myself on there one day!

My knowledge of Web 2.0 is defintely minimal, so much so, that I would not hesistate to label it Web 2.Huh. Obviously, I have a lot to learn.  I have to catch up to my twelve year old on the social media front!  Thankfully, I have this course to help me acquire the much needed skills required to navigate this unknown territory!
