Week Two

Visited Bebo first. Fascinating and gave me an insight into what many of the students are watching on our library computers.
I was amazed by My Space... so many people and links! I could spend hours here if I had the time. It's like a big maze and I was enjoying the spontaneity of clicking anything that caught my eye, searching without a goal in mind. Loved the music videos, obscure people whose names I've forgotten already and will probably never see again.
Facebook seemed more private and rather conservative. I can understand the appeal and see it as another good resource for keeping in touch with friends, way beyond my usual of writing a few quick lines and sending images by e-mail.
All easy to navigate...difficulties I had were getting 'downloads' (is that the right term!) to work instantly...workmates say it's to do with lack of patience...the other is remembering my passwords.

First attempt

I'm way out of my comfort zone here but determined to see this through to the end. I like the way computers are so practical, it's great to do a quick google search or scan photos, but that's about the extent of it for me once I'm outside of the workplace. I prefer to work in the garden or paint, so when it comes to making a 'blog' I'll be needing all the help I can get. Looking forward to the challenge ahead!
