# 23 Things

Learning 2.0 has been a learning adventure, and it has introduced me to the various application offered on the internet. My general internet usage before learning 2.0 was quite conservative, as I didn’t join or sign up to many sites. Learning 2.0 changed this, as part of the program it was necessary to sign up with various websites. While some of the time I felt the work was quite tedious and repetitive, I still enjoyed the experience and learnt many new things. The support from my fellow colleagues, gave me incentive to finish this program. I did find it hard however, trying to complete the program at home with limited assistance. Although in saying that I will probably continue to use several of the sites, especially LibraryThings, Flickr, Blogline and Podcast.

Cheers,
The Incredible Moose

#22 Audiobooks

The convience of audiobooks online has both positive and negative aspects, as it is easily accessible, however, you must have access to the internet. Subscription to audiobooks is essential, although there are a few free audiobooks that can be downloaded.

#21 Podcast

Again something new. As I was unsure what a podcast was I investigated its true meaning. I found a podcast is a digital media file, and can either be in the form of direct download or streaming.

I found two sites of interest that is useful for those interested in podcasting.

Podcast
The podcast network

# 20 You Tube

Usually i do not use this website, but for this exercise i thought i would take a look. While there are some entertaining clips featured on YouTube, as a whole I think my time can be better spent somewhere else on the internet.

#19 Web 2.0 awards



Decisions, Decisions, Decisions ...
Sometimes the web has too much to choose from. I've been around in circles, and tested many different sites, although I found the majority to be of no use for my requirements.
However, I was glad to see that the "Web awards for 2007" included many sites that I have visits whilst Learning 2.0. The winner 1st place column actually contained many sites which i had enjoyed visiting (and are now bookmarked). These include LibraryThings, Blogline, Rollyo, and Flickr. As for my decision on the best website I choose to remain anonymous.

# 18 Zoho

Working and learning all this new stuff is certainly challenging and I am enjoying the experience.

I can see the advantages of of this program. So many software programs are incompatible or not available from different computers that I use at work and at home.

As far using Zoho writer, it was quite easy, as all the features are similar to word processor and better.

The toolbar has the standard applications that are useful to create a document with various addtions.
