Thing 27 -- Twitter

Once again, an easy Thing. I found twitter through a learning workshop at school. I like it and got a few friends to join also, unfortunately they don't post very often. But then again, you can also follow public people. I am a follower of MN govenor, Tim Pawlenty, and Barack Obama (who is also following me). Yes, I am that important!

If you are already on twitter, also check out twhirl. It is a widget you can put on your desktop and it will feed your twitter posts.

So, look me up on twitter as dianehopkins

Thing 26 -- 23 Things on a Stick Ning

I love when the Things are easy. This one all I had to do was renew some info. I already had an account and a picture. I joined the CMLE Central Perk and School Librarian groups. I started a couple of discussions and posted a few things. Once again, it is hard to do at school because all the pictures are blocked.

OK, I did send some photos to Ning. It was surprisingly easy. All you do is email them to the address provided by Ning. I like the Ning Thing a lot, but I don't think it will ever be engrained into me like Facebook.

I joined Facebook in the first round of Things on a Stick and really did stick with that one. Hey everyone out there, give social networking a try.

Thing 25 Blog Tools....to be continued

I am still working on all those blog tools that are available. The biggest hindrance to me, is most of the things I need to access are blocked at school. I have been having a lot of fun lately taking videos with my new digital camera and posting them on YouTube and Facebook. So, I will probably keep posting about blog tools, but now on to Thing 26!
