Thing #23: Take a short survey

TA-DA!


Yes, I'm finally done! But, I must say the "23" Things is a misnomer. On many of the things there are multiple, multiple items to look at and that doesn't even include the challenges. It's not very realistic to ask busy library staff, some who work public desks 4 hours a day and then have other duties, to try and do 2-3 hours of 23 Things and say you can devote 15 minutes a day to it. It's just not true! Many of the things take quite a bit longer.

That being said, I think the program itself is interesting and worthy, but like most anything in life you get out of it what you put into it! I've heard some people bitch about it, I've seen some people make a party out of it. I fell somewhere in between. I figured I would bitch some and enjoy some and who knew I would actually learn much more about Web 2.0 than I ever expected. I will however be happy to get some of my time back, because I think my brain was ready to explode. I'm quite hoping after this, everything else is just going to be
"cruicin' thru life"


but somehow, I know that's only until the next thing comes along...
