Delicious : advantage vs disadvantage

After having a chance to look at best websites on Delicious, I found myself reflecting on what the advantages and disadvantages were to using it. I found that some of the advantages to it were that these sites could be accessed anywhere in the world. One can personalize it so that it suits his or her needs by sorting it in a way that suits them best. Some of the other advantages for me was that it is easy to find. The tab on the side helped located information on some of the topics that may be of interest. One thing that did catch my eye were the questions that new citizen's can use to study for their citizenship, I find that people are always coming to the library looking for this information. I found that the more I looked at this website, the more comfortable I felt with it. At first, I felt a little overwhelmed with all the information that was in front of me, but once I got into looking for information, it all made sense. Having said that, this is one of the disadvantages to this site. I did find that it was time consuming as it did take me abit of time to get more acquanted with this site. Once I got used to the idea that I can personalize it and put things in order alphabetically and by date and relevance to what I was looking for, I was able to find things easily and quickly. I don't see myself using this site for the meer fact that I can find the information that I am looking for in a quicker manner, but will recommend it to our customer's to use as we all find information that we are looking for differently.

CPL 2.0 What intrigues or scares me about it? What do I hope to learn from it?

I am intrigued by the entire aspect of creating a blog and posting my comments. Although I am intrigued and excited about this new task, I am finding that I am scarred by the fact that I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with all the things that we are going to be learning. I like to think that I am computer savvy, but do find that I don’t know it all. Having said this, I am looking forward to this opportunity of learning something new and being able to take what I have learned and share it with others. I do take comfort in knowing that I am not alone in this learning process and that I can always ask my peers questions as we are all in the same boat. I am also finding that a lot of my worry stems my lack of knowledge in the areas that we will be looking at. I have looked at other blogs and have found that they make it all seem so easy, yet I find that I am at a lose for words. I am hoping that once this training session is over, I will be able to walk away from it and say that I have learned a lot and will be able to take the things that I have learned and be able to share it with others and show others how to do it.
