Thing 12 - Twitter
Hmm what should I do?  Looked at other blogs by colleagues and read them. Put a comment on one. One colleague suggested Twitter.  I thought I would do that as part of the 23 things but we don't.  That made up mind to have a look.  I do go on Facebook quite regularly  so familar with that and have heard twitter mentioned.
Well, looked at Twitter and signed up etc.  I followed 2 sites.  Must say I was not impressed with Twitter, not at all.  Ican say I've done that now.
  I would rather do Facebook anyday.

Thing 10 - Library Thing
Ooh, I liked this one!. I added 6 books,  tagged an rated them. Made a 'to read' list, which I may use in the futrure when deciding what I would like to read.  Liked the concept of having different views for your books.  Took me a while to find out how to add to the 'wish list' or the 'to read' list.  I think I shall be visiting Library Thing again.

Thing 8 Mashups
I had a look at these.  I did some of my own searching as some of the links are old now.  Looked at some on flickr too.  I keep coming back to applications that have  maps and photos combined.  One of the mashups I liked was flappr.  You can search photos by a few different ways.  Mypicsmap was another  geotagged map application but not that good I thought. I have geotagged my NCL photos - only three.
