Well I must say this is rather exciting-my very first blog thanks to the '23 things' programme!
While I am aware of many of the web 2.0 technologies available on the web, I have not always thought to independently check them out, or even find out exactly what they're all about. This structured programme is therefore a fantastic way to explore and delve into the various 'things' that are out there. In particular, I hope it will enable me to consider the value of different web applications to the library world. I attended a course on web 2.0 technologies a few months ago, which provided a great insight into what actually constitutes web 2.0, but I came away not really knowing quite how it could be applied usefully to the library profession. So that is something I'll really try to consider over the course of the programme.
As for my own experience, I have a Facebook profile which I find invaluable for keeping in touch with and up-to-date with friends, and fantastic for sharing photos. I regularly use YouTube, Wikipedia and Doodle, which has become an indispensable tool for organising get-togethers with large groups of friends. I have also fairly recently set up a Bloglines account through which I subscribe to several RSS feeds, mainly library-related because as a library trainee I want to keep informed of the latest news and developments in the profession!
