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 It doesnt appeal to me, i dont like the look of it, it looks outdated and cluttered or something, or the colour scheme is completely out of whack.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.

Task 22: Facebook and Myspace
I've had a facebook account for over 5 years, and its basically just a part of life for me. I have access with my smart phone so I am constantly up with whats going on with the people around me. I m friends with people that i work with so its sometimes good to get in touch with them as they seem to check their facebook more often than their emails :D
I like it probably because you can connect with people whenever and with minimal effort. sounds slack, but can i justify it by saying life is getting busier now days? i think im also just lazy.
I read that people from my generation consider themselves multitaskers, with importance on time efficiency. and i guess this is also explanative of why facebook has its relevance.
Its also cost effective sometimes, saves me having to call or text people, if i just log in and use facebook chat or messaging.
Some people may consider all these things negative, in that there is no real in-depth connection with people, or that you end up friends with people on facebook that you dont even like in real life. But i just think its convenient. and its there, and i use it. i dont even think about it anymore.
i ve also been on Myspace for a longer period of time, but i havent accessed it in 2 years - not so many of my friends are members and it seems to have a completely different appeal - its more music/entertainment orientated now days. doesnt appeal to me.
