Social Networking

I am really uncomfortable with social networking. They want too much information. I have enough real friends. I do not need electronic friends.

Wikis and Blogs

Blogs let you ramble on about anything and everything. Wikis have limitations like 2000 characters. They also frustrate you when you try to link your wiki to the class wiki. It does not accept it. What is a fool? A person who keeps doing the same thing over and over and expects a different result! I am tired of being the fool! I cannot get my wiki linked properly.

wikis and Wetpaint.com

There is a limit of 2000 characters in the Wetpaint wiki software. I thought the purpose of wiki's was to put up a document and let people edit it. I had to break the minutes down to 4 threads to put up a 2 page set of minutes. I must be missing something.

RSS Feeds at ICO

When I am interested in multiple topics but do not have time to search them throughout a day, an RSS feed can notify me when new items are available. I can bookmark my reader and check it as frequently as needed.

If the students and faculty like to keep up with current information about topics, they can use PubMed to search the topic regularly for them. The information then comes to them at their convenience. They only have to create the search once and then just check their news reader when they have some time at the beginning or end of the day.
