23 things: a summary

So, thing 23! It's been an interesting experience, and for the most part a positive one. I've found out more about some web 2.0 tech that I was already using, and discovered some new ones as well. I particularly liked iGoogle and related sites like Google Reader and Google Docs. I like the idea of being able to access all these things through one login, and it's all really straightforward to set up. I've been using Pageflakes as my homepage until now, but iGoogle has more features and seems to be a lot more reliable. I also liked picture editing with Picnik, which could be useful at work and at home, and wikis - we've already made good use of those at work. They're a great way of keeping everyone in the loop when you're working on a project such as reclassification.
I'm still not entirely sold on Twitter. I can see its uses for work, getting short messages to lots of people very quickly, but I can't see myself using it for personal updates - I can never think of anything interesting to say! Delicious is a useful tool, but the layout design could be improved. LinkedIn is useful provided there's a critical mass of people using it regularly, and it does give you an incentive to keep your CV updated.
Overall it's been very illuminating, and I hope I'll be able to make good use of what I've found out over the past few weeks.
