Thing 4 (week 2)

The trouble with social networking sites is that I'm not very sociable and don't like networking. But since it is part of the course I have dutifully signed up to Bebo, although I don't know if Auckland City Libraries will want to be my friend... I've enjoyed MySpace but got distracted finding out that one of my favourite bands has put out a new album - didn't even know they were still playing. Have just bought the album, this could turn out to be an expensive training course! Couldn't find any old friends in Facebook, there were only three people admitting to be from my (large) high school.

My second learning was to check the settings... my time zone was a long way from home!
Welcome to the Wilberforce blog. I have set it up as the first step in a workplace training course on Web 2.0.



The main challenge so far has been thinking of a name for my blog which was, as instructed in the course notes "anonymous, yet uniquely you". I've utilised (wasted) a great deal of the allocated training time on this.



The name is a reference to a (fictional) race of giant world-eating slugs. If this is uniquely me, then my attitude may need a little adjustment this morning.
