Thing 33 -- Travel 2.0

03/10/2009
This was a quick "thing" but very enjoyable ... hmmm, travel sweet travel!!

I ck'd out "the lost girls" travel blog -- yes, I'm jealous!! I think I'll probably try to keep up with these gals via RSS -- unless it gets to be too much reading (which I have enough of these days with grad school!).

I also (quickly) looked at the "my life of travel" and think this would be a great resource for checking out if you're thinking of traveling vs. only the 'travel books' views. I tagged this in my del.icio.us account.

I also looked at mapness (also tagged in del.icio.us) and think I might use this in the future.

I am hoping (oh so very much!) that the timing will work out so that I can take a3 week J-term to New Zealand either next year or the following year. So maybe these Travel 2.0 things will come in handy then!!

Thing 32 -- Google Maps

This was interesting ... I've looked at google maps before but I hadn't created a map. I found the location of our college and created a push-point on a satellite map to locate our library on the campus building. Click FDLTCC Library and this should bring you to my map!

Thing 31 -- More Twitter

03/10/2009
Okay, so I've said I'm just not that into Twitter ... but I looked at a few of the suggested links.
- I quickly checked out Spy -- and spied on some recent facebook updates ... interesting I guess? I think my time is better spent on other things.

- I tried out Twitter Grader is see how I rank -- not so great (although not surprising since I've only posted twice1) -- I'm 1,424,024 out of 1,558,762 with a grade 6 out of 10 (how?).

I was surprised/interested to find that since my 2nd & 3rd tweets I've had 3 request to follow me -- a person I don't know, an organization I'm following, and my nephew!

I think, for at least now, I'm not convinved that I should be tweeting........
