Well this started out as my weight watchers blog and has now become my general blog of things I do, have found funny and other random stuff ..... | |
Oh, interesting ....Posted By Col on Monday, March 05, 2007 Just realised, it was almost 1 year to the day of my last blog post, must be something about wanting to document my age ???So .... Is Nigel Right ....Posted By Col on Monday, March 05, 2007 Well a lot of you know Nigel, for those who don't this should remind you. The comment was "I don't get involved enough in Web 2.0"? Is he right? No, I don't think so ...Flickr: So I don't religiously use Flickr, I do however use my own software I developed pre-flickr which still works really well for me, has everything I want and keeps me dabbling in development of some of my own stuff. Twitter: Don't use, to be honest I think this one is strange, why would I want to let people know what I am upto, where and when. The niceness of it is that you can keep short snippets of things you do, more for me than anyone else. I do use the messages in MSN and Skype, they are nice as a lot of my IT aware mates use them. Blogger: I use this (well when I can be bothered), I use it however in more interesting ways. My mums website uses blogger so they can update the content really easily without requiring a web professional and a copy of dreamweaver. Now before Web 2.0 existed (the marketing term) all my users have been blogging and editing content easily online (that what a blog is) via system I developed/helped develop. The others: Well I have used Pandora, listened with Last.fm, have a Google Calendar, watched You Tube, done Dropsend, thought about writing a funny book in Lulu, got my Moo cards ... I follow it closely, play where I like it, examine what I think is interesting, look for ways to adopt it in my workplace and note it where I think it has no importance (often those come back and bite you). I think the really great apps are the ones that do one thing really well, have a great API so you can use the content anywhere (that's where you get real value, Flickr is a fantastic example). If OpenID gets off the ground then I won't have hundreds of these accounts kicking around spamming me.
