Final thoughts? Not a chance!

This week wraps up the South Dakota Library 2.0 Challenge.

And I'd just like to say, THANKS, guys, for the opportunity to try out all of the nifty tools we explored in the last few weeks. They may not be one-size fits all, but trying them on for size has sure been a blast!

One minor miff, though - it's not very friendly to restrict comments on the Challenge site to team members only! How are we to comment, when we get bounced off?

But kudos & quibbles aside, I'm resolving to keep this up.

"This" being the exploration of new tools, widgets, and whatever other ideas I run across that might be of use. I've found that writing it out - especially for 'publication' as it were, gives me a chance to consider more aspects of what I'm looking into. Whether it be a website, and widget, or a tool, that's not a bad thing.

As those who know me quickly learn, I always have an opinion - just ask me, I'll tell you! *grin* Oh, wait, was that a rhetorical question? Never mind.

In the interest of wrapping up - you might remember back in the Google Docs lesson (The Doctor is In - Lesson 6) I created a poll requesting folks rate their favorite lessons to that point. And I promised to post the poll results the following week - but I never did. That's because sadly, my poll had no takers :( Too bad, since I was looking forward to seeing how the results would display. But there will be other surveys, I'm sure.

Personally, I think my favorite lesson thus far was Flickr (Lesson 4a & 4B) and learning that it was possible to blog photos. And the most useful lesson was last week, learning what and how a Wiki operates (Lesson 9).

But I'm looking forward to the bonus lesson next week on LibraryThing - one of my favorite online spots. RA, personal interest, the occasional FREE book, and of course, lots and lots of book reviews. It's almost as good as chocolate!
