Social networking sites - popular?
Yes I can understand the fascination and passion for facebook and other networking sites.
It is an easy and fabulous way to keep in touch with many people at the same time. It can be used efficiently to instantly reach many people regarding important dates, travel plans, invitations , business plans, etc,.
It can also, just be a party online conversing with all your friends at once.
Used properly it can be a lot of fun and a time saver for passing on information quickly to everyone.
On the downside it can also be addictive and a time waster and your privacy can be jeopardized.
Be careful what you say out there!
For myself ,
I set up a test facebook account.
I took note of the wall, the profile, the Account, theFind Friends, the Info, etc.
I am not interested in having a current facebook account at this time.

CPL 2.0
April 8th -Wikipedia
I easily found articles that one was able to edit.
I tried to edit a biographical article on Mary Pickford. I added one sentence that referred to her name change. Because I added this sentence directly after a reference mark it was saved at the bottom of the article- at the top of the list of references rather than in the article itself.
I will check tomorrow and see if it is still there although I doubt it will be, therefore I printed it for myself today!
Will try to edit something again when I have more time as it could be fun.
What did I learn by reading the Wikipedia information:
I am impressed by how current the information is and that they are continually updating even within seconds. Therefore, editing or making additions which contain misinformation , etc. are quickly removed. They have strict editing policies. It appears to be easy to edit and save, I did not know that this was possible before.

CPL 2.0 Delicious
April 1
Best Websites,
after browsing these sites several times this week , I have definitely become more comfortable.
Initially, I found delicious to be busy and cumbersome and I rarely found anything quickly.
However, I now understand the layout , index and sorting option better than before, although
I will need to use it frequently to become truly trusting and confident with it.
I, also, learned the difference between a folder and a tag this week.
