Exercise 8 - Del.icio.us
I found Del.icio.us to be a very interesting tool and can see how it would be very useful for research purposes. I found it very user friendly as well. All in all, a good exercise.
Exercise 7 RSS
After much extensive reading, my eyes are now aching, I managed to create the bloglines account and subscribe to various different feeds.
It was actually easier than I thought it would be and I can see the relevence and usefulness of using RSS.
Subscribing to the different sites was quite user friendly expecially when using bloglines quick picks.

Exercise 6 Technology
Having been asked to write a blog on technology today, I questioned myself how much technology played a part in my day to day life. The answer to this and I expect to most people today is an enormous amount. We are surrounded by technology at home, at work and also at play. There is no getting away from it however we may try.
I personally sometimes feel quite swamped by the extent on which we rely upon technology today and yearn for bygone days when I couldn't be reached on the phone at any time of the day or night, when children were not continually plugged into some technological device or watching a screen in one form or the other.
However, whilst there are irritations with technology, I also recognise its importance and how it plays a significant part in our lives and will continue to now and in the future. Afterall, there are several technological items I couldn't live without, one of them being my hair straighteners!! I am also partial to watching the odd DVD with a glass of wine on a Saturday night!! With this in mind, I must put my negative feelings towards tecnolology to oneside and move with the times.

Well, here goes, got lots to catch up on, feeling very excited about my new journey of discovery, quite nervous having heard all the horror stories, web 2.0 taking over people's lives, will I survive?........ Watch this space.......
