More things

I've discovered that the more time I spend learning new things to do on the internet, the more time I spend doing them. I go to Facebook to find out what my kids and grandkids have been up to, and then spend half an hour messing around with Farmtown. Then I'll take one of the quizzes, and before I know it, two and a half hours have passed, and what have I accomplished?

It's an eye opener to me that I can waste such vast amounts of time on the internet. No wonder people who use the library's internet want to be on longer than an hour. It's too easy to get caught up in something, and poof, your time is up.

Twitter still is like a foreign language to me, and there seems to be no point to it. Guess that will end my tweets or tweetings or whatever they are called.

I found a new website called StumbleUpon. It's one way to find some unusual websites, and get recommendations from others for websites. I've just discovered it, and I need to spend more time with it, but it seems kind of fun. But as with everything else, the jury is still out!

Ok, so I've done a blog, I played with RSS feeds, Twitter, FaceBook (and I did download a photo to it!), and LibraryThing, all due to 23 Things on a Stick, and More Things.... I appreciate that, as even though it's not much, it's a heck of a lot for me.
