One More

So I had to do a final post, because I started this project early. I chose thing 3, the RSS feed thing.

I use my RSS reader daily (Google Reader), to follow blogs and websites I like, and to see what things my friends are making. What I like about them is that everything's in one place, I don't have to gallivant around the web, checking if a new post or item has been added to different pages. I've begun to look at like a custom newspaper or magazine, and things that I would not seek out and read on their own, like comics and funny stories, become like additional sections, something to break up the monotony of a series of long articles.

The End?

I've finished with my 23 things training at this point, and it's been fun. A lot of the web apps that we've been introduced to I've used before, but I've enjoyed revisiting things that I had previously dismissed.
I think that it is great that we did this program, I think that it is important for us to be able to use, or at least be familiar with a wide variety of tools for connecting with our co-workers. Sometimes I think that we often don't take advantage of many of the tools that might make our work day simpler, and do things just because they are familiar, or comfortable to us.
I would take advantage of another program offered that was like this one. Tech improvement and training is, frankly, fun. I think that this program could focus more on applied skills, with proposed processes replacing more genaral ones.
I probably won't use this blog ever again, but many of the tools that I used here I will continue to use here, like my RSS reader.
