Thing 23 - Final Thoughts

I have enjoyed taking part in the 23 Things training. There are several things I found during the training that I will continue to use. I go to my igoogle page regularly and enjoy reading the articles on my google reader. Everyone should sign up for the Boing Boing feed. It's great. I was happy to have a reason to revisit Pandora radio and will keep listening to my Bowling For Soup station I set up. I love Library Thing and would like to say I will use it to keep a record of what I read, but I will likely keep using my notebook I've had for years instead. Even though I will never listen to an audio book, I'm glad I went through the process of downloading one so I will have firsthand knowledge of what our customers are experiencing.

Some of things I did were fun, but not something I would ever use again. While my meez is almost as good looking as the real me, I can't see ever using him in real life. I still don't see the use for a Rollyo search and don't bookmark enough to have a need for del.icio.us. Still, I am happy to have had the experience with using them.

I think my favorite part of the process has been reading the blogs of my coworkers. It is always helpful to read of other's experiences. I always learn something new from that. I just don't like discovering that my blog was much more boring than other people's, but I believe I did mention the likelihood of boring posts when I began, so you were warned.

I would definitely take part in another training like this if offered. I enjoy the independent learning because I can even do it when I am in jail.
