Jeeze... Skpye it is over 10MB to download to my HTC :S
I am waiting for it to download anyway - its taking forever...
After downloading Skype to my phone, it looks like you cant make free calls from HTC (or possibly from the 3g network, not sure which one is causing me trouble). So i have eventually downloaded it to my iPad and convinced one of my friends to download it, and success. Although i couldnt have the sound on because i am at work, and she couldnt see my written dialogue. And her camera is on the back of her phone so that was kind of useless.
I think this was probably the most troublesome of the 23 things i have done. Obviously not good to use it on my phone, it takes a pretty huge chunk of memory and i cant make free calls and the camera is on the back. if i had a reason to use it, and i used it on my computer or iPad, and i used it more often it would probably be great.

Task 6: Pixlr
Psychotic kitty
Pixlr is awesome! Didnt know about this before. Fun and easy to use, lots of features :D
Task 16: Technorati
I m just not a big fan of this site. It doesnt appeal to me, i dont like the look of it, it looks outdated and cluttered or something, or the colour scheme is completely out of whack. Pretty superficial i know, but i cant get past it.
The only thing i like about this site is the 'State of the Blogosphere' section - full of interesting facts and pie charts on the demographics of bloggers :D

Task 13: Slideshare
Sounds great if you want to do this sort of thing. I personally can not think of any time i would use this. But it seems to have all the functionality youd want like compatibility with almost everything possible!!

Task 4 - Google Maps & Docs
Having an Android phone I pretty much rely on Google maps to get me anywhere. I use it as a GPS. And if i am lost i can easily find out where i actually am. My only problem is it takes up so much memory on my phone.
I really like that you can choose to get directions by car or by walking, but the accuracy of lot of their directions are rather bad. often it will try to direct me in a nonsensical unnecessary loop.
But it still beats having nothing!
Google docs - i know of its existence. i have only used once before for work purposes. I just dont have a lot of reasons to use it. I think its a good product to have, there are lots of free document software on the net.

Task 3: Google everything
So now i am working from the newly updated 23 things :)
I wish i worked at Google. I love Google, i have an Adroid phone, i like the idea of easy free access. I dont have any problems with criticisms about Google. i think they're ok in the ethical department in their conduct as an organisation.
I have used quite a number of Google products; I have used Google Calendar for rostering at work in the past, it was very easy to use and the staff were able to access their roster from where ever.I ve tried iGoogle, but i just dont seem to stick with it, although it is a good concept.
I use Gmail regularly.
You tube, Google maps and Google books are pretty awesome.
I havent used Google+ yet, but i am pretty interested to look into it.
