rss

i love rss feeds and use them A LOT. i read several blogs and rss makes it easier for me to keep up with them, share posts i like with my friends, tag with my own cataloguing system and mark posts i would like to revisit.

i prefer using google reader because that is what my friends use and i can follow them as well. bloglines was ok, however i'm don't think i'd switch from my google reader.

google

I like Google and think it has some really great features. While I don't use all of the applications I'm a fan of Gmail, Google maps, Google Scholar and Google reader among others. I often try out new Google products and usually find things about them I like and find useful, and recommend to others. I worry about the monopoly Google has over the internet however, there aren't any other search engines that have prooven better so I'll keep using it :-)

facebook

for me, facebook is mostly a tool to email people for whom i don't have an email address for. i sometimes go on and look at pictures but typically stay off it so it doesn't become a time waster...

wikipedia

I found some incorrect information. I fixed it up and published it. The process was easy and straight forward.

delicious

The main advantages of sites like delicious, in terms of sharing and storing, could be exemplified in the way the library makes use of it with their best websites. Tagging is another great way to organized your ideas and make sites accessible in a language that makes sense to the user. Disadvantages would include usability. Delicious isn't that well designed or intuitive for the user. It can be difficult to locate information in an efficient manner and once you accumulate a lot of sites tagging it isn't neccessarily a strong searching tool unless you have a good grasp on the vocabulary the person running the site might be using. Overall, I don't find Delicious to be a great tool and typically find other means to locate information.
